Who We Are
Gate Ministries New Mercies is part of the GATE Family of Churches — a movement built on the conviction that the local church is God's primary vehicle for transformation in communities, cities, and nations.
We are a household of faith committed to the spiritual wellbeing and growth of every member of our family. Our doors are open to all who are seeking truth, belonging, and purpose.
Rooted in the Free State and anchored in scripture, we believe that His mercies are new every morning — and that every person carries extraordinary potential when surrendered to God.
"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning." — Lamentations 3:22–23
