What We Believe

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 to 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

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 request form. If you need counseling regarding addiction or suicidal ideation, please also see our additional partnership resources.

    Saturday, March 14 at 7:0 PM

    Our mission is to establish a Christ-centered community of support and prayer for families walking through estrangement. As we all navigate this challenging journey, we can stand with one another, and in God's name, break this generational curse. This group is a place for prayer, support, fellowship, and friendship. Whether you are missing a prodigal child, parent, or loved one, you will find others here who understand your heart and will walk with you in faith and compassion. As we enter this new season, we will also be offering additional opportunities for connection and encouragement. Please check our group calendar or chat regularly for upcoming gatherings, prayer times, and special events. After you join, you will receive access to our online chat, where members can share prayer requests, find real-time support, and receive updates about group activities. We are honored to walk beside you. May God meet you here with comfort, strength, and hope.
