United Arab Emirates

Newfrontiers in the United Arab Emirates

Dubai is expanding at a prodigious rate and emerging as a world class city from humble beginnings in the desert. This astonishing development has taken place within one generation and the Emirates continue to develop with great energy, vision and ambition.

People come here to work from literally all over the world, and these expats compose approximately 80% of the population of the UAE.

Gateway International Church Dubai (www.gateway.xtn.org) is therefore multi-ethnic, richly diverse and strategically sited for influence within the city, the UAE, the Gulf and the wider Middle East. The church also plays a key role in receiving people from and sending them out to all the nations of the world.

Gateway International Church Dubai is a full member of the UAE Council of Evangelical Churches, a Government-approved body.
