Gateway Woods/Apostolic Christian Children's Home was founded by love for lost and wounded children, by faith that God provides and heals, and by obedience to God's Word and leading.
In 1976, our residential childcare program opened two group homes on a beautiful 50-acre campus near Ft.
Wayne, Indiana. Over the years, Gateway Woods' ministries have steadily grown.
Our programs are grounded in a biblical perspective and provided by a dedicated Christian staff.
Throughout the years, each new component of service has sprung from our skilled workers' awareness and our leadership's clear commitment to the pressing needs of the whole child, the whole family, the whole problem.
As a result, today Gateway Woods is a provider of choice for a variety of children's services in northeast Indiana and beyond.
