Other Church Leadership

Gateway is governed by two key groups – the Board, and the Elders.

The Gateway Board serves as the overseers of the church that provide financial oversight, address concerns and needs, and deal with polity issues. They provide the necessary oversight to ensure we are healthy, good stewards of our finances, and pursuing the mission God has given us. Board members are appointed for election at the AGM.

Current Board Members: Darien Chaffart, Julie Keates, Junior Kayoka, Lonnie Hunter, Tara Noel, Joy Young
