Care
At Gateway Church, we believe we are called to lift one another up—rejoicing with those who rejoice and mourning with those who mourn. Whatever situation you’re navigating, we want you to know God loves you and we love you. Whether you need resources, prayer, or someone walk alongside you in your specific need, we’re here to help!
When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality. –Romans 12:13
Life Events
Funeral Care
If a loved one has recently passed away, we want you to know we are so sorry for your loss. Psalm 34:18 reminds us that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted. We also want to be available to support you during this season where we can through funeral care. Our care team is here to connect with your family, offer comfort, pray, and determine any needs (such as an officiant and/or host for the funeral service).
We also have grief counseling options available for you, and we would love to connect you with the option that suits you best.
If you want to get in contact with us regarding any of these options, please fill out our care request form, and someone from the care team at your campus will respond to your request.
Hospital Visitation
If you or a loved one is struggling with sickness or disease and would like a pastor or volunteer to visit the hospital, please contact us through our care request form. We don’t want anyone in our church family walking through their health journey alone, and we would be happy to offer our care and support.
Weddings
We offer premarital resources for couples who are thinking about marriage or are already engaged. This is an exciting time of life filled with joy, big decisions, and new discoveries. Whether you’re interested in a group setting or one-on-one counseling, we have something for you!
If you’re interested in a group setting, Becoming One is a seven-week series focused on the foundational building blocks to inspire, equip, and encourage couples to weather storms, overcome obstacles, and fulfill dreams in marriage. Check out our Becoming One Equip course for more details.
For couples considering marriage who are not able to attend the class or would prefer a more traditional premarital counseling setting, we offer Becoming One in a counseling format. To contact us about one-on-one marriage or pre-marriage biblical counseling, please fill out our care request form!
Prayer
We desire to see every person at Gateway develop an intimate relationship with God through a personal prayer life. We grow in prayer through groups, Equip classes, online courses, and praying together on the weekend before and after service. Prayer invites the power and presence of God into our lives to accomplish His plans and purposes.
If you would like to submit a prayer request, please fill out our prayer form. Or you can send us your requests by texting PRAYER to 71010.
Benevolence
If you are in need of financial support, we may be able to help. As a church we believe in generosity and stewardship, and we want to walk alongside our members in times of financial hardship. The church is a place where people can find support and opportunities to learn about their role as stewards of what God has entrusted them with. To find out more, submit a care request form.
Biblical Counseling
We desire to see Gateway members develop an intimate relationship with God. We do this through ministering to individuals seeking help with personal, relational, spiritual, and/or emotional issues. We offer counseling for inner healing, deliverance, prayer, guided exercises to hear the Lord, and breaking down strongholds.
One-on-one ministry at Gateway Church is where we meet with individuals and couples to minister to them during times of hardship. Ministry happens in a variety of ways including prayer, encouragement, support, and biblical counsel. This takes place in several forms: assessments, biblical counseling, marriage counseling, grief counseling, premarital counseling, and referral to professional counseling.
If you or a loved one wants to find out more about our in-house counseling options, please fill out a care request form. If you need counseling regarding addiction or suicidal ideation, please also see our additional partnership resources.
