Welcome to Eastgate. We are a diverse church, knowing that God the Father loves all people so we’re living with confidence that Jesus can transform anyone. Faith in Jesus is radically changing our lives, our families and our communities. Come along to one of our services, join a mid-week group, and know the power of God’s Spirit as we honour Him together. We’re from all kinds of places and backgrounds. We’re not perfect; we don’t expect you to be, everyone is welcome here.
Eastgate is called to glorify God as a lighthouse church—every person, and all of us together—being transformed in relationship with Jesus, impacting our local neighbourhoods and beyond.
Kei te karangatia a Eastgate ki te whakakororia i te Atua hei Hāhi Wharemarama—ko tātou katoa, ā, ko tēnā, ko tēnā o mātou—e whakahoungia ana e tō mātou whanaungatanga ki a Īhu, e whai pānga ana ki ō mātou hapori kāinga, me tua atu.
Join us for church to praise God through authentic worship, thought-provoking teachings and deeper relationships.
You’ll find us almost at the corner where Ben Lomond Crescent meets Cascades Road. We’ve called this building home since 1998. We believe in serving our community and reaching out to those in need.
Eastgate Kids and Charged Youth run during our Sunday morning 9am service, there are so many opportunities for your family here at Eastgate. No matter who you are, where you’re from or where you’ve been, there’s something here for you!
The heart of this church is in it’s community. Since 2017, we have been gathering each Sunday morning at the local Rugby Club on Mahi Road. People of all ages and backgrounds come together for a spirited time of music, messages that connect faith to real life, and a kids program for ages 11 and under.
Our service lasts about an hour fifteen, with plenty of time afterwards to meet new people over a hot cup of coffee or tea. We are an open and welcoming church focused on building genuine connections. You’ll find real people sharing real stories of how faith intersects with all aspects of life.
We can’t wait to meet you and your family! Join us this Sunday as we worship, learn, and build community together in Te Kauwhata. All are welcome.
