The Youth have coined a name to distinguish themselves known as 'Gateway Kingdom Seekers'. This is a group composed of young men and women from ages 14–35. The Youth Service was inaugurated on 3rd April 2011. In attendance was Rev. Kenyanjui together with Church Elders. The first Youth commissioning was done on 17th April 2011 by Rev. Gibson Gichuki who commissioned at least 40 members. Since then several commissionings have been held for our Youtn.

Since then the Youth have continued holding their early morning service which runs from 8am to 9.20am. Beginning 2014 our Youth now hold their Sunday programs in the Old Church together with our Parish Youth Coordinator. They invite a varied list of guest preachers as well as Gateway members for sermons. They also have a Youth Choir which holds presentations on Sundays. They have also hosted youth rallies & attend Presbyterial meetings, Regional events etc.

• Community service during school holidays eg cleanup of neighbourhoods.
• Camps
