Why should I serve?

God has given everything in His son Jesus and he has also given us gifts as His children. One of the ways that we honour and worship Him is to use these gifts in service to others. It’s God’s purpose for our lives, and is called our 'ministry’ or ‘service’.

Where can I serve?

Here at Citygate, there are many ministries and teams that could help you grow spiritually, while applying and developing your own gifts and talents alongside others. It’s also a great way to make new friends!

Some serving opportunities require you to be a member and committed to Citygate Church. Others are open to non-members or those new to the Citygate family.

Whatever your availability and wherever you are in your journey with us, we can help you find somewhere to serve that suits you! Fill in our serving form and someone will be in touch to chat things through!
