Pastoral Care

Our Care Team is dedicated to walking alongside our Gateway community through key seasons of life, recovery, and loss.

Whether you are welcoming a new baby, recovering in the hospital or at home, shut-in or in long-term care, walking through grief, or navigating a caregiver role, our team would love to connect with you and support you through visits, prayer, and personal encouragement!

Prayer Support

No matter what you may be facing, we believe in the power of prayer to see situations and lives changed.
