The residential program has many hurting children come and live on campus throughout the year. These children are in need of love and nurturing as well as boundaries and accountability. Houseparents are the direct care staff in charge of these children.

As a Houseparent couple, you will hold a parental role in the lives of the children (residents) while they are on campus in your care. You’ll provide for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the residents and operate the home in a Godly manner while staying consistent with Gateway Woods policy and state regulations. Some duties may include teaching practical life skills, providing spiritual leadership/guidance, processing through resident choices, and helping with homework.

By employing the teenagers in the Gateway Woods residential program, GW Farms provides a job opportunity through agricultural avenues. Resident-turned-farmers learn real-life job skills (filling out a job application, interviewing, performance reviews, etc.) in a safe environment. Many quickly learn the value of perseverance and resiliency as they see their hard work turn into desired income. We seek to serve our farmers first…we just happen to grow vegetables, too.

As the Gateway Farms Assistant, you will support the Farms Manager in the operation, resident supervision needs, and logistics of the program. You will help promote the work and products in conjunction with the PR team, maintain positive customer interaction, track farm production sales and expense records, and report resident behavior to the Farms Manager.

WillowBridge Transitional Housing serves aged-out youth in need of a safe place to land. They need more than just a place to live, however. These young adults need to learn the skills and resources to eventually move out of WillowBridge and live on their own – including how to get involved in a community and a church. Tenants have so much God-given potential, they just need caring adults to point the way to Jesus and to successful independence. WillowBridge staff and volunteers provide guidance, accountability, and support to tenants, based on their individual needs.

As the Community Advocate, you will live in the WillowBridge apartments and manage the day-to-day operations there. You will build community with tenants, serve as an in-house mentor, as well as oversee the security and upkeep of the property. You will need to resolve conflict well, practice good discernment, and serve gracefully while drawing and enforcing clear boundaries.

The mission of Gateway Woods is ministering to the fatherless and widows, which in our case are vulnerable youth and fractured families. We seek to restore hope by helping children and families achieve their God-given potential. To advance this mission, we must cultivate, maintain, and strengthen relationships with local donors and advocates that share the vision and values of the ministry.

Gateway Woods relies on private donations for a substantial portion of our budget. As the development coordinator, you will help connect local donors with the opportunities to help further God’s kingdom work here. It will be vital that you have a passion for the mission and a genuine interest in building authentic relationships with our supporters, as they are essential for the growth and sustainability of this ministry. There will be the opportunity to travel regularly to update and engage local donors.
