Welcome to Grief Share Ministry!

At Gateway Church International, we understand that walking through grief can be one of the most difficult and isolating experiences life brings. That’s why our Grief Support Ministry exists—to offer a safe, compassionate, Christ-centered community where those who are grieving can find comfort, strength, healing, and hope. Whether your loss is recent or from years past, you don’t have to walk this journey alone.

Our ministry meets as a support group designed to help you process grief with care and encouragement. Each meeting focuses on biblical truth, real-life testimonies, and practical tools to help you navigate the emotional, spiritual, and everyday realities of loss. Through thoughtful discussion, shared experiences, and supportive fellowship, participants can begin to heal, find hope, and rebuild their lives in community.

The Grief Support Ministry blends gentle teaching with group discussion, providing a space where you can share at your own pace, feel heard, and receive prayer and encouragement from others who truly understand. We believe that in the midst of sorrow, God meets us with His comfort, presence, and peace—and this ministry is one way we strive to make that reality tangible for everyone who comes.

Our Grief Support Ministry follows a biblically grounded framework that includes encouraging teaching, thoughtful group conversation, and personal reflection—helping you feel supported every step of the way.

What should I wear?

Come as you are! You’ll see everything from jeans and hoodies to dresses and button-downs. Comfort and reverence go hand-in-hand here.

Do you have something for kids and teens?

Yes! We have vibrant children’s ministry during our Sunday service, and our KNOWN Youth Ministry meets Sundays at 5 PM (1st & 3rd Sundays). Kids and teens are a huge priority here.

How long is the service?

Our Sunday service runs about 120 minutes, including worship, teaching, and time to respond to what the Holy Spirit is doing.

What kind of worship can I expect?

Spirit-led and powerful. We’re passionate about encountering God, and our worship often includes prophetic flow, prayer, and spontaneous moments.

Is there a way to get connected after visiting?

Absolutely. Stop by the Connections Desk after service for a welcome gift and info on how to get involved. We’ll help you find your fit.

Do I need to sign up before attending?

Nope — just come! You’re welcome to visit without any pressure or sign-up. We’re here when you’re ready.

What if I need prayer or ministry?

We have prayer available during and after services, and deeper ministry opportunities during Encounter Nights and Life Groups.

What makes Gateway different from other churches?

We’re a church that equips. You won’t just be sitting in a seat — you’ll be encouraged, trained, and sent into your calling. This is a place for spiritual growth and Kingdom activation.

Do you offer water baptism?

Yes — especially during our Encounter Nights (1st Friday of each month). It’s powerful, spontaneous, and many experience healing and breakthrough.
