About Us

Gateway Family Church in Equestria, Pretoria East, is a charismatic congregation that believes in the operation of the fivefold ministry in the church. We also believe in a life applicational Christianity, which means we are not busy with empty religion; we are busy establishing God's kingdom in our own lives. We have dominion over every area by allowing God's Word to change us. If you are looking for a church in Equestria, come by and visit us!
Our Pastor
Dr Lourens and Aletta Toerien planted Gateway Family Church in Pretoria over 20 years ago. Their passion is to establish and build a church by God’s design. Dr Toerien finished his theology studies in 1993 at Dikaia Bible School. He is also qualified in the Advanced Art of Business Coaching from the North-West University. In 2010 he received his Honorary Doctorates Degree in Counseling from Team Impact University.
“God called me to be an effective change agent in people’s lives. Teaching is not a grand show, and change is not instant. I have been called to consistently keep on teaching truth.”
We Believe
We are here to impact the individual, the family and the business sector with life-altering truth and support. This we do so that people’s lives can be changed from the ordinary to the exceptional, from surviving to conquering, from mere Christianity to sons and daughters of God.
We are a charismatic congregation that believes in the operation of the five-fold ministry in the church. We also believe in a life applicational Christianity, which means we are not busy with empty religion; we are busy establishing God’s kingdom in our own lives. We have dominion when we allow God’s Word to change us.
IN THIS FAMILY WE DO: truth, freedom, fun, heart, life, integrity, perspective, teaching, care, real, worship, loud, LOVE.
Not Big. Just Great
