ABOUT US
Vision
At Gateway Church Ashford, we want to help you grow as a mature disciple of Jesus. His vision for our lives is that we —
Love God (Matt. 22:37)
Love One Another (Matt. 22:39)
Make Disciples (Matt. 28:16-20)
This vision is the foundation for our practice as a church, which falls into three areas —
Presence: Encountering God in worship, prayer and his word.
Formation: Growing in community with one another and learning how to follow in the way of Jesus
Mission: Seeing the Kingdom of God come across Ashford and beyond through ministries and evangelism
Our focus is all about Jesus—our hope and the one who transforms lives. We’re committed to growing disciples who follow him wholeheartedly and who are equipped to share the good news of his gospel across Ashford and beyond. We embrace the work of the Holy Spirit and seek to encounter his presence both in our gatherings and in our everyday lives. Our desire is to deepen our relationship with God our Father, growing a church family where each person knows their identity as a daughter or son of God.

As part of the Catalyst network of churches, we align with the foundational statements of faith from both the Evangelical Alliance UK and the Lausanne Covenant.
