Welcome

Welcome to the Gateway Centre, a purpose-built community centre situated in the heart of the Staple Tye community in Harlow, Essex. As well as providing a range of activities for the local community, the Centre also has rooms and facilities available for hire by business and community groups for meetings, conferences and social events.

The Gateway Centre was built in 2004 to provide facilities for the local community and the surrounding area. Constructed from 28 modular units, the Centre provides a multi-purpose facility and has been likened by many to a 'Tardis' as the outside appearance belies the range and size of the facilities within. The Centre was developed through active involvement and advice from the local community by the Gateway Christian Fellowship.

The range of activities based within the centre are primarily focused on family support alongside affordable and quality child care, plus training and personal development opportunities. The Centre houses the Gateway Nursery, the Gateway After Schools & Holiday Club and is the home of the Gateway Christian Fellowship.

The project has captured the enthusiasm of the local community and continues to be developed with support from a number of local agencies. It has been made possible, financially, through a number of grants as well as generous donations from the Gateway Christian Fellowship and friends.

The Gateway Centre is a project of the Gateway Christian Fellowship, a registered company and registered charity number 1099828. Suzanne Doherty is the centre manager responsible for the day to day running of the facility and can be contacted for any information or enquiries.

About Us

The Gateway Centre is an initiative of Gateway Christian Fellowship, one of Harlow's churches.

Gateway Christian Fellowship is a registered charity and is also a limited company. We have a board of directors/trustees and we also have a senior leadership which is responsible for setting the spiritual direction of the church.

History

Gateway Christian Fellowship started in 1985 under the leadership of Peter Doherty.

Thanks to the sacrificial giving of many people, the donation of many generous gifts and the loving provision of Father God, we were able to purchase the site at Perry Road in 2002.

In 2005, we were delighted to open the Gateway Centre.

Vision

Gateway Christian Fellowship's vision statement is:

"to know the Father's love, to grow in His Family and to draw others in".

Another key value for us is to be "a community reaching the community".

We do not believe christian faith is something to be tucked away for Sunday mornings - the good news that Jesus brings is now and is relevant to all the various parts of our lives!

Staff

Suzanne Doherty - Centre Manager

Mark Hodgson - After School and Holiday Club Manager

Linda Lawrence - Nursery Manager

Future

We are looking forward to developing and strengthening the services which we already supply, and we want to stay open to develop new services.

Our hopes and dreams are not limited to the Gateway Centre as it is currently configured. There is much scope for making physicial improvements, as well as possibly moving into additional premises.

Events

Luncheon Club

The Gateway Luncheon Club for senior citizens was launched in April 2006 and has been a great success. The club meets weekly on Wednesdays (during term time) and aims to provide a nutritious and tasty meal, followed by tea or coffee, freshly prepared by the resident chef, and served in inviting and comfortable surroundings. The meal is followed by an activity - often bingo or a quiz and the winner receives a free meal on their next visit.

Run by a group of dedicated volunteers, their aim is to provide a first class service from the moment the person enters the centre. The saying goes the proof of the pudding is in the eating and satisfied customers return week after week, not just for the delicious food but also for the lively conversation, good fun and warm company.

Outings are planned for some of the Wednesdays that fall during the school holidays.

Our hope and prayer for the future of the Luncheon Club is, that it will continue to be a success, increase to more days of the week, and develop, such that other unmet needs of senior citizens in the community can be catered for. Watch this space.

Baby and Toddler Group

Mums, Dads, Grandparents and Carers are all welcome to come along every Tuesday morning during school term-times. We meet from 9.45 to 11.15am. We have toys for all ages and enjoy activities including play-doh, painting & drawing, parachute games, stories and songs.

Cost is £1 per family which includes tea, coffee, juice and biscuits.

Please come along and join in the fun. Any queries call the Gateway Centre on 01279 630340.

CAB Drop-in Advice Sessions

At the Gateway Centre there is a weekly drop in clinic every Thursday morning from 10.00 am to 12.30 pm with a Citizens' Advice Bureau advisor.

There is no need to book an appointment - just come along and the advisor will see you when he is free.

Counselling for Women

Sometimes we are faced with things in life that we just don't understand ...

Sometimes talking about it can make things seem brighter.

Christine Ashton offers a confidential service and works within the Code of Ethics of the ACC (Association of Christian Counsellors). She holds a certificate of advanced training in Counselling and Pastoral Care, Level 2. She is a member of the ACC and is an ACC practitioner in training. Christine is also under regular professional supervision and holds a CRB Disclosure certificate.

Gateway Christian Fellowship

Gateway Christian Fellowship (GCF) is a family church full of people who are seeking to follow Jesus in the modern world. Our vision is: "to know the Father's love, to grow in His family, and draw others in".

GCF is a Partners in Harvest Church. Partners in Harvest is a network of churches from many parts of the world, which has grown out of an outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship.

GCF is a part of Together For The Kingdom (TFTK), which is made up of some of the Harlow church congregations. TFTK is important to us because we believe in the different parts of the church working together to see Harlow blessed and transformed.

Cells

GCF has a number of small groups, or cells, which meet together in various homes around Harlow on a regular basis. The purpose of cells is to help people discover more about how they can in practice follow Jesus' example and teaching.

The activities which take place in GCF cells will vary from time to time, but they are always based on 5 key cell values, which are: Jesus at the centre; everyone growing; everyone contributing; deeper relationships; and everyone sharing Jesus.

We are supporters of an organisation called Cell UK, which is a nationwide and interdenominational group which promotes cell-based principles.

About Gateway Christian Fellowship

GCF was established in 1977 in a small Essex village called Matching Tye. In the early 80s, we moved into Harlow because we felt God was calling us to be here. For many years we had a vision to have a church centre that was a base to serve the local community whilst we rented halls for our public meetings. In 2005 this dream became a reality with the opening of the Gateway Centre. Although we had a rather nomadic existence in the intervening years, there has always been a strong link for us with Staple Tye and the surrounding area in the south of Harlow.

We believe that there is a whole lot more to church life than just meetings and buildings but, even so, we are extremely grateful for the provision of the Gateway Centre and we want to see this valuable resource used to help GCF be a help for the people of Harlow.

Meetings

If you would like to come and find out more, we’d love to welcome you to any of our Sunday morning meetings, which start at 10.30am and are interpreted for the deaf. On the first Sunday of each month we have a special time for communion / breaking bread and prayer for anyone who needs healing, along with a time for worship. Our meeting format is relaxed and informal. The purpose of these meetings is to worship God and to create an environment where, we hope, people can have an encounter with Him.

If you have children there are activities arranged for them for about an hour during the meeting. We aim to finish shortly after 12 midday and have a cup of tea or coffee and a chat.

Cells (small groups) meet regularly during the week in people's homes.

On the second Monday in each month, we have a "Soaking" meeting which starts at 8pm and finishes by 10pm. These are times to be still and know God. Typically, most of the time in these meetings is taken up with listening to relaxing worship music and resting in God' s presence.

with Peter Doherty, Director of Primary Health Care, Links International

Mission

We believe that as part of the great commission which Jesus has given to his church, it is vital that we "think locally, act globally". As well as wanting to be an influence for good in our local community, we want to bring good news, in all its forms to communities around the world.

Peter Doherty, one of our senior pastors, who is also the Director of Primary Health Care for Links International, has lead numerous teams delivering training in primary health care to countries such as South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, Mozambique, Lesotho, India and Sri Lanka.

His wife, Suzanne, our other senior pastor, until recently was a trustee of In Ministry to Children and as a result many of us have either travelled to Colombia to help, or have worked hard at fundraising here at home.

Many of our members have involvements with various countries, some of these are reflected in our links page.

We are also delighted to be hosting Mauricio and Sibele Colussi, a young couple who are missionaries to our culture from Brazil.

Courses for complete beginners start in September each year, whereas more experienced signers can join at any time.
