About East Gate Kingdom Fellowship
At East Gate, you will find a missional community that lives upon the basis of the great commandment of Jesus Christ, and fulfills His mission to reach the uttermost ends of the earth. We are a fellowship of believers who are passionate about their call. We are not a “church” as usual, but function as a regional ministry of house churches that are ensuring the health of our community as we send and receive leaders all over the world.

Five-Fold Ministry Model
The five-fold ministry model is founded on Ephesians 4:11-13, emphasizing the importance of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers working together to equip and empower the body of Christ for effective Kingdom service. This approach ensures a well-rounded leadership team that caters to the spiritual needs of the community while fostering growth, unity, and transformation.
As a result, we benefit from diverse leadership perspectives, each contributing unique strengths to the fellowship’s reach. The apostolic, pastoral, worship, and intercession leadership areas combine to create a comprehensive leadership team that effectively ministers to the needs of the community, equips believers for their Kingdom assignments, and empowers them to impact the world around them.
