MORE THAN BRICKS
In the Autumn of 2024, we found home. Through the faithfulness and favour of God, and through the blessing of our brothers and sisters in the CofE, we are going home. In 2027, Gateway will be moving to St. Philip's Church on Beeches Road in West Bromwich. (Located near New Square and Dartmouth Park)
More Than Bricks is Gateway’s building programme, which began in 2022.
What has transpired to date?
2022 - Phase One: moving Sunday services back into the Gateway campus for two services.
2023 - Phase Two: six-month capital campaign to raise a ‘war chest’ of finances.
