IT STARTED WITH JESUS and his 12 disciples
We have taken the Government of 12 (G12) model and vision established by Pastor Cesar Castellanos from Colombia, implemented the principles and are now outworking the vision within our context here in Scotland.
Groups of 12
The group of twelve system of cell groups allows us to proclaim the Gospel and minister effectively. As Jesus had 12 men that he loved, mentored and released, each person in a life group then grows a maximum group of 12 whom they love, mentor and send. Multiplication comes.
People Empowered
We are allowing God's power to be established through this vision and people are being awoken to the revolution and revelation of the cross and the responsibility that is asked of us by Jesus. This is the fulfillment of the great commission (see Matthew 28: 19-20).
Cell Groups
We have lots of groups: men's or women's, adult and youth - there are groups running every night of the week and even during the day.
Pease contact the office to find a group for you.
The Encounter
Walking with God is a journey. Every journey starts with a small step and we all need some help to get started. One way in which we help you as you start your journey with God is through the Encounter.
This is a teaching programme designed for new Christians. It covers basic issues of the Christian faith and allows you to encounter God for yourself – His Father heart, His love, forgiveness, healing and freedom, before giving you tools to strengthen you along the way.
The Encounter is divided into 3 main phases:
Pre-Encounter: 4 weekly teachings covering what it means to be a Christian
Encounter weekend: A Friday night and Saturday where you and God can get personal. A time of healing, ministry and freedom. Cost £15. Check out What’s On for details of the next Encounter.
Post-Encounter: Weekly teachings that equip you to build on the freedom you have received at the Encounter.
“On 19th February 2006 I came to The Gate and responded to the sinners prayer. I was at rock bottom – one of my son’s had died, the other was using heroin and I was living in a women's aid refuge...”
