About Us
Empowering women through the hope of Jesus Christ
MISSION STATEMENT:
"A Christ-centered home for women seeking freedom from life-controlling issues, like addiction."
VISION STATEMENT:
"Through The Gate exists to provide a safe and supportive environment for women to break free from destructive patterns and embrace their God-given identities, going on to lead healthy and fulfilling lives."
We achieve this through a comprehensive recovery program that integrates biblical, emotional, and practical support. In doing this, we equip women with the skills and tools they need to thrive with spiritual clarity, joyful sobriety, and purpose. We're committed to promoting lasting change in the lives of women and their families, and to cultivating a community of hope, healing, and transformation.
Our Story
After volunteering in a women's prison, Pastor Steve Covington knew he wanted to do more to help people in society who had been marginalized by their past choices and stigmas. With his wife Janet by his side, he founded Through The Gate in 2014. Over the years, the home has served as a place where women could find refuge and healing while they sought to rebuild their lives on the foundation of Christ.
