Free from Sin.
Gerald Coates (25 November 1944 – 3 April 2022) was an author speaker, broadcaster
and the founder of Pioneer, a Christian network of churches and forums, established
to "develop new churches across the UK and engage in mission globally. The Pioneer
network he founded is a charismatic group of evangelical churches. It is part of the
British New Church Movement and can also be described as Restorationist. He later
handed over the leadership of the movement to Billy and Caroline Kennedy of New Community,
Southampton. Coates himself was responsible for coining the term "New Church" to replace
the more confusing former name "House Church Movement," of which he was also a founding
member.
