Graham & Pam Jarrett
Campus Pastor - Lostwithiel
Both Graham and Pam were brought up in non-Christian families, and then came to faith in Jesus in their teens, having both gone through some difficult life experiences. They both have one sister.
Pam was a manager in retailing in Essex and Graham working in East London in alcohol rehabilitation, when they had the call to train at Bible college. They met there at Birmingham Bible Institute (a college founded on preparing for revival), and started going out in Graham’s last term. Graham went on ahead to be assistant Pastor of Haven Green Baptist Church in West London, and Pam joined him a year later when they then married. During their 15 years in London they both worked for West London YMCA, and were also involved as Catalyst Ministries in itinerate work supporting struggling churches into growth.
Graham and Pam had a very clear calling to Cornwall, first coming down in 2001. They later joined the Elim family and have been pastoring Lostwithiel Community Church, ministering generally, but also quite specifically to young people, those from broken homes, and those who wouldn’t otherwise come into a church. They have 3 grown up sons, have 2 adopted daughters, and continue to be foster parents, which is something they have been doing since coming to Cornwall. They have a dog called ‘Teg’ (said Teag, which means beauty in Cornish).
Graham & Yvonne Bate
Elders - Launceston Area
Graham, a true Cornishman, and Yvonne, brought up in Northern Ireland, have been married since 1989 and have two children, Christy who is married to Tom, and Sheridan.
Both Graham and Yvonne have both been Christians since they were children. They have been a part of Gateway Church since 2014.
Graham is a farmer and they together run a self catering holiday business near Launceston.
They are both passionate about connecting with people and seeing lives changed with God at the centre, no matter what their age, and then empowering them to fulfil their own dreams and change the world.
Graham is the Launceston Area Elder and Yvonne oversees the Children Ministry of the church. They also run a Discipleship Hub, which meets every Wednesday evening.

Steve & Ruth Heathcote
Lead Pastors
Steve is the Lead Pastor at Gateway Church since February 2025. They joined Gateway Church in March 2020 as a Minister in Training with Elim. Steve & Ruth have three adult boys. Steve works in Property and Construction and Ruth in Mental Health and Care. They have been involved in various levels of church ministry and church leadership over the years.
More recently they have been involved in a leadership team to re-build and re-establish a church, not just its framework but also its culture, values and community.
Their vision is to see the body of Christ strengthened and released to be all it could be, with a strong emphasis on reaching outside of its walls with the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit.
