OUR BELIEFS<\/h1>

Love God, Love People, Serve Others<\/h2>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t

Our Story<\/h2>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

In the City of Fort Myers, we see it everywhere: lost, hurting, broken people who don’t know where to turn. From medical needs, financial struggles, and marital issues to addiction, dysfunctional habits, and broken dreams, there’s no question: the people of our city need an advocate… And that’s where we come in. Meeting needs with compassion and understanding, Citygate Ministries provides tangible hope and unique resources with our beliefs to the people of Fort Myers. We address not only physical needs, but introduce them to Jesus, who is the ultimate healer for all who are broken. As each person experiences transformation through Christ, we encourage them to participate in the miracle of the gospel through regular attendance, serving, and community engagement.<\/p>\n

The harsh reality is this: without someone to intervene, the hurting members of our community will continue to live in bondage, repeating the cycle of self-destruction and, ultimately, missing Jesus. But Citygate is committed to altering this trajectory through living out our calling to change the world by guiding people to purpose in Christ. By rescuing the hurting, raising disciples, and releasing world-changers, the people of Fort Myers will experience radical life change, hope, joy, community, and – best of all – true freedom in Christ.<\/p>\n\t\t\t
