    New here?

    There’s a place for you at Citygate! We recognise that we’re all at different stages of our journey. So we invite you to journey with us at your own pace. Here are some of the different ways that you can get connected with our church.

  • A group of young adults seated around a table, engaged in conversation with drinks and notebooks in front of them, indicating a relaxed discussion setting.

    Exploring faith?

    The Alpha Course is a series of weekly sessions where you can explore the Christian faith in an open-minded and welcoming environment. There’s no cost, and no pressure. Just lots of great conversation and space to think.
