Meet the Team
Leadership Team
Pete
Church Leader
Hi, I’m Pete, married to Kath with a wonderful daughter/son-in-law and 2 grandchildren, who keep us very busy. I love spending time with them, our wider family and our church family – relationships are important to me. I’m passionate about our local community and the national rugby team, who need all the support they can get atm…
I look forward to meeting you soon.
Claire
Church Leader
I am married to Kelvin, have 4 grown up children and a gorgeous grandson. I love outdoor activities like Cycling, Skiing and recently I've started joining in with Saturday morning Park Runs.
I have lived in Caerphilly for almost 30 years and have been a part of Gateway Church since 2007. I have the privilege of working for Gateway and totally love it.
One of my favourite Bible verses, and I have many, is Romans 5 v 8 which reminds us that Christ gave everything for us when we were far from him, so we could have a relationship with our Father.
Church Workers
Raf
Youth Worker
Hi amigos, this is me Raf, I’m originally from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil; I’ve been here in Wales now for over 20 year as a Youth Pastor.
I’m married to a beautiful Welsh lady and we have two amazing boys; I love sports in general but football is my passion.
If I could pick one Bible verse to share with us, it would be from Matthew 6:33 “The thing you should want most is God’s kingdom and doing what God wants. Then all these other things you need will be given to you.” …and I’m prove of that! Many blessings
Chloe

In my spare time I love to go on dog walks with my husband Pip and our two Pomeranians Dougie and Dottie. I also really enjoy anything that allows me to be creative.
Jayne

I'm married and a mum of 2 children who are both at uni. Before retiring I was a primary school teacher. Now I really enjoy leading the work at Duffryn Ffrwd.

In my spare time I love the outdoors especially the beach.
Ruth

Kath
Hi I’m Kath, wife of Pete & mother to Jess. I have two amazing grandchildren and a great son in law. I work with a number of charities and love being a part of my Gateway family who I value greatly. I love gardening & walking my dogs.
Mark
Hi, I'm Mark. My wife Georgie and I have lived in Caerphilly for 24 years. We have two daughters who have now grown up and 'left the nest'. I was one of the founder members of Gateway and served on our leadership team for 10 years. I am also the CEO of a travel technology business based here in south Wales. I am an avid sports fan and keen follower of both football and rugby in particular.
Georgie and I are passionate about helping people grow in their Christian faith and supporting and encouraging people in their daily lives. We love doing that over meals in our house and out on countryside walks.
Terry
I am married to Sue and we have two adult children. I have lived in Caerphilly over 30 years and been a part of Gateway since 2016. I am also interested in railways and music.
A favourite Bible portion is Psalm 139 v13-16 because it reminds me God knew me even before I can remember.
