Ministry membership is for faith-based, Christ-centered life transformation ministries—including rescue missions, addiction recovery programs, shelters, transitional housing, and outreach ministries serving vulnerable populations. Ministry membership is reserved for organizations whose mission intentionally integrates faith and holistic care.

Citygate Network also welcomes churches and individuals who feel called to serve the least of these and desire to learn, connect, and walk alongside ministries doing this work—strengthening compassion-driven service rooted in faith, dignity, and life transformation.

In addition, business membership is open to organizations that may not be faith-based but are aligned with Citygate Network’s mission and committed to supporting and strengthening the life transformation movement. Business members partner alongside ministries by offering expertise, services, resources, and solutions that help ministries operate more effectively and sustainably—advancing shared impact across the network.

While Citygate Network collaborates with a wide range of partners, ministry membership remains distinctly Christ-centered—ensuring our shared foundation of faith continues to guide the work of the network.

Member ministries are registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits with a physical location and an active board of directors. Each year, members affirm our statement of faith and code of ethics, reinforcing a shared commitment to integrity, accountability, and Christ-centered service.

Citygate Network supports every area of ministry life, not just senior leadership. We create spaces for connection, encouragement, learning, and prayer while equipping ministries with practical tools and shared wisdom that strengthen programs, operations, staff teams, and organizational culture. Through events, webinars, publications, peer learning, best practices, and faith-centered guidance, ministries gain clarity, resilience, and confidence to navigate complex challenges together.

By strengthening the entire ministry ecosystem—leadership, frontline teams, systems, and long-term sustainability—Citygate Network helps ministries operate more effectively and with greater focus on mission. When organizations are healthy and supported, they are better positioned to expand capacity, respond to evolving needs, and create lasting life transformation for more individuals and families.

Citygate Network helps ministries navigate cultural, policy, and sector shifts through faith-rooted teaching, events, webinars, and meaningful connection with peers facing similar challenges. By grounding learning in Scripture and best practices, the network equips ministries to respond with clarity, courage, and compassion—remaining faithful to their calling while leading effectively in a changing world.

Participation is up to each organization. Members engage in the ways that best fit their capacity and goals—whether through events, resources, peer connections, or advocacy. While there is no required level of participation, the network is strongest when ministries lean in and learn together. We truly are better together.

Citygate Network serves ministries at every stage—from emerging organizations to large, multi-site ministries. Resources and engagement opportunities are designed to be flexible and scalable, meeting ministries where they are.

We understand that every ministry is unique. Membership dues are scaled based on your ministry’s size and budget, ensuring accessibility across the network while honoring responsible stewardship.

No. All members receive access to the same core benefits and resources. Citygate Network is built on the belief that ministries are stronger together, so membership is not tiered by access or influence. Every member—regardless of size—has the opportunity to engage fully in the network, participate in learning and events, and benefit from shared resources, advocacy, and community.

At this time, Citygate Network serves ministries across North America, including Canada and the Caribbean.

Membership is offered on an annual or quarterly basis and is easy to manage. Ministries can renew or update their membership directly through the member portal, and there are no long-term contracts—allowing flexibility as circumstances change.
