In the heart of Hamilton, we’re a community of students and young adults (18–30) learning to live the way of Jesus together.
Gateway Young Adults exists to connect a generation into the life of the local church. We gather to grow in faith, build deep friendships, and walk in apprenticeship to Jesus—learning His way through scripture, worship, prayer, and life together.
Connection Hour
Every Sunday after our evening gathering you can find us up the back with a hot choc. It's a great chance to connect in a casual setting and get to know some other young adults.
Connect Groups
Our connect groups meet throughout the week, in homes all over the city. It's about growing in faith and building deep friendships as we grow as disciples of Jesus.
Collective Meals
We love gathering as a community to share meals throughout the year. We gather for connection, good food, and great company. Keep an eye out for upcoming events on our socials — we’d love to see you there!
EVENTS
Dating with Holiness and Purpose
How do we honour God from singleness, to dating, through to marriage? This is a relationship series for everyone, not just couples!
📅 Three Tuesdays, 23rd +30th September, 7th October
📍 Gateway Church — 950 Victoria Street
No need to register, open to all young adults.
Prayer Run Club
Every Monday night our Young Adults gather in the church carpark for Prayer Run Club. We start as a group, hear a prayer focus, and then break into small groups to pray through a liturgical prayer card and the weekly prayer point. After a casual warm-up we head out for a manageable 5km run at a pace everyone can enjoy.
Flick us an email, ask a young adult, or simply turn up at 6pm and join us!

Emotionally Healthy Discipleship
Faith isn’t just about doing more stuff for God it’s about being real, slowing down, and letting Jesus heal the parts we usually hide. This book hits different.
God on
Mute
When prayer feels like it’s going nowhere, this book is a lifeline. Raw, relatable, and still full of hope it’s proof you’re not the only one asking hard questions.
Reappearing
Church
If you’ve ever wondered if revival could happen in our time this book says yes. It’s about God bringing life back to dry bones, and us being part of it.
Luke & Jessie
Youth and Young Adult Leaders
We have four beautiful children and feel deeply connected to this amazing city and the people in it.
Our passion is to serve the local church through vocation, and we’re consistently in awe of the way God is moving in this generation. It’s a privilege to be part of His work as He leads His people.
