Our Services
Restoring Lives… and Hope
Many men, women and children in West Michigan are hurting. They’re victims of domestic abuse. Struggling with unemployment and poverty. Trapped in a painful cycle of addiction.
But there is hope! At Gateway Mission, we provide a gateway to a better life.
Whether someone comes in looking for emergency services to help them get back on their feet or long-term care for a fresh start in life, we’re here to help.
Every service and program we offer is inspired by Christ’s love for us, empowered by the Holy Spirit and designed to help our neighbors overcome past trauma and develop new skills so they can enjoy the blessings of a life transformed.
Emergency Shelter
Rest and renewal in a warm, safe, and welcoming environment.
At Gateway Mission, we understand that no one wants to be homeless or live on the streets. The men and women who come here never imagined that their life journeys would bring them here – or that they’d ever need to ask for help. But we know that homelessness can happen to anyone, for a lot of different reasons… and Gateway offers real and lasting solutions to help people get back on their feet.
Gateway Forge Program
Healing destructive patterns with a foundation of God's love.
Forge is a 40-week residential program for men and women that is purposefully designed to be a path out of homelessness, resolving their invisible poverty and into freedom and independence.
Gateway Childcare
Licensed childcare to support mothers in our long-term programs.
Recognizing that lack of childcare is a significant barrier to moving forward for mothers with children, we offer childcare to participants in our Pathway and Gateway programs. Without childcare they often cannot get the help they need to overcome life’s challenges.
Pathway Program
The Pathway program provides a safe, welcoming environment where your needs for food and shelter are met while you work to resolve your barriers to housing.
Thrive Internships
The purpose of the Gateway Mission’s Thrive Internship Program is to provide a safe, supportive, and structured substance-free environment for men and women desiring to live as disciples of Jesus Christ while learning to serve others.

"I felt lost… I didn’t know where I belonged until I finally found my home here at Gateway. They prepare you mentally and emotionally, and teach you daily life. I’m still healing, but God’s going to get me through. I have been blessed tremendously by so much love!”
