The ministry is located in Largo, Maryland, but is having an impact on nations with its international reach. The following ministries were established by Dr. Caretha Crawford to achieve her ministry goals:

The Gateway to Wholeness Church Ministries

The Gateway to Wholeness Church Ministries was established to propagate the Gospel of Jesus Christ, advance the Kingdom of God, and be an agent of change and transformation in the world. The objective of the ministry is to strengthen the body of Christ by being a gateway to healing, deliverance, restoration, transformation, and empowerment. It aims to equip believers for the work of the ministry by providing them with the tools to achieve victorious living in Jesus Christ. Many individuals have been licensed, ordained and consecrated as pastors through this ministry.

In Pursuit of His Presence Worship Institute

In Pursuit of His Presence Worship Institute was established in 2010 to provide biblically-based education and mentorship to a generation of individuals who desire to consistently pursue the presence of God through the arts. At the pulse of IPHP is a constant thirst for the heart of God through the study of the Word, creative expressions of worship––interpretive, prophetic and choreographed dance; mime, pageantry, procession, flags, banners––and praise and worship. As an extension of it training and empowerment, the Institute offers an annual worship conference and worship arts production. We are located in Maryland, North Carolina and Sierra Leone, West Africa.

Kingdom Greetings 4U®

Kingdom Greetings 4U®, a Christ-centered stationery company was birthed from the heart of Dr. Caretha Crawford to address the vacuum that existed in exquisite greeting cards for female leadership in the church. However, it offers stationery for both genders with exquisite designs that inspire and celebrate life’s milestones.  Each product offers an inspirational message, a Bible verse and the exhortation, “God Loves You.” With Kingdom Greetings 4U®, you’ll find products specifically for male and female pastors, bishops, prophets, intercessors, armor bearers, dance ministers and first ladies that are worthy of the anointed positions these individuals hold.

In a time of email and evites, my line provides a tangible and lasting way to express emotions among loved ones. To date, thousands of cards and products have been sold and distributed internationally. The tag line says it all, “Inspiring Messages for the Royal Priesthood®.”

School of Pastoral Nurture

Pastors are feeding their sheep on a regular basis but, who is feeding the shepherd? A congregation is only as healthy as her pastor. The School of pastoral nurture is designed to encourage, enlighten and empower the pastor through special tune-up services and other events and resources.

Educational Literature

Educational Literature are works published by Dr. Caretha Crawford. Her first book published in 2010, Dance, God’s Gift to You, presents a fresh, clear biblical understanding of how God views the dance, elaborating on how and why dance should be used in the worship experience. This book will answer many questions and help open the eyes of your understanding to:

• The origin and purpose of the dance
• How dance is used as a powerful weapon against the enemy
• How dance is used to restore and bring order out of chaos
• Why God takes pleasure in the dance
• How to pursue the presence of God through the dance
• The healing qualities of the dance
• What God expects of His ministers of the dance

This book is used as one of the textbooks in our Institute (IPHP). It is being used as a required reading resource by many dance ministries across the nation.

Dr. Crawford’s second book released 2013, Hold on to Your Dream, promises to be a “best-seller.” This book was written to encourage those who wonder if it is possible to achieve their dreams or if they should give up hope. Dr. Crawford inspires and challenges readers to think from God’s perspective regarding their dreams and guides them on a journey of discovering their dreams or rekindling the flame of a lost passion.

Using biblical principles and siting contemporary and biblical achievers, questions are answered that many have about making their dream a reality:

• Do I have a God-given dream?
• Is my dream achievable?
• How can I avoid the pitfalls on my journey?
• What have others done to successfully achieve their dreams?
• It is too late for me to work towards dream fulfillment?

Unfortunately, many people give up on achieving their dreams when they are faced with what seems to be insurmountable odds. Discover how to recognize and reclaim your God-given dreams, and identify steps you need to take to see your destiny fulfilled.

Hold On To Your Dream Seminars and Events

The Hold On To Your Dream Seminars are designed to help individuals discover how to recognize and reclaim their God-given dreams, and identify steps they need to take to see their destiny fulfilled.
