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.
HOW WE CONNECT
Connection Hour
Every Sunday after our evening gathering you can find us in The Commons 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.
Planned Events
We love gathering as a community throughout the year. Keep an eye out for upcoming events bellow or on our socials — we’d love to see you there!
EVENTS
Young Adults Camping Trip
Raglan Holiday Park
Friday 30th Oct - Sunday 1st Nov
We are looking forward to a weekend away together enjoying Gods creation. We will be camping at the Raglan holiday park. The campsites are unpowered so bring a tent and sleeping bag ect ect. There are BBQs for cooking on, toilets and hot showers. The campground is a 5-10 min walk from the town, so easy access to supermarkets and other food options.
Intention is to have a fun weekend away together, enjoy the outdoors, get in touch with Gods creation and slow down. There will be no major structure, other than getting together in the evenings to eat and worship together. Day activities will be hanging at the beach, surfing, swimming, nature walks, volleyball, reading, prayer, fishing ect ect.
We have 11 campsites booked, each campsite has capacity for 8 people and 1 car (we can add more if needed). The campsites are all next to each other, so it’ll be more like one big area. There is extra car parking just out the front of the campsite as well. So just plan who you’ll come with, find a spot and set up camp for the weekend.
The campsite’s will be available from 12pm midday on the Friday. So if you have the day off you are welcome to come early setup and enjoy the afternoon out there. Otherwise come and setup anytime afterwork on Friday afternoon/evening. We will be getting together in the campsite at 7:30pm for dessert and Worship on the Friday. Check out is by 10am on Sunday morning.
Cost: $55 registration for both nights or $30 for a single night, (covers campsite cost and processing fees.)
What to bring: Tent, sleeping bag, water bottle, swimmers, towel, whatever you need.
Food: Food is BYO except for Saturday Night where will we have a dinner together and food will be provided.

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.
