Serve one another humbly in love

– Galatians 5:13

Vision

A future where every man, woman, and child experiencing homelessness finds the way home—embraced with the compassion of Christ, guided by faith, and supported with dignity.

Mission

To help end the cycle of homelessness by walking alongside individuals and families on their journey home—offering compassionate care, emergency services, transformational programs, education and job training, life-building skills, and the support needed to achieve lasting stability and thrive in community.

Our Core Values

Respect

We believe everyone is deserving of dignity, love and compassion. By honoring each person’s value and worth, we affirm their dignity.
(Psa. 23:5; Rom. 12:3)

Relate

Life transformation occurs in the context of committed relationships where there is trust and compassion. A focus on a loving God and loving others forms the foundation of relationships.
(Psa. 23:1; John 13:34-35)

Redeem

We do our very best to help our guests rebuild their lives and form a trusting relationship with God. Redeeming a life is intentional and sacrificial because it is costly in actions and resources.
(Psa. 23:2; Col. 3:12-17; Gal. 6:1)

Restore

Restoration corrects and strengthens a person, so they receive back more than has been lost. The God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
(1 Peter 5:10)

Statement of Faith

Union Rescue Mission is committed to the following essential truths of biblical Christianity.

We believe in one God.

Creator and Lord of the Universe, the co-eternal Trinity; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus Christ, God’s Son,

was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died a substitutionary atoning death on the cross, rose bodily from the dead and ascended to heaven where, as truly God and truly man, He is the only mediator between God and man.

We believe that the Bible is God's authoritative and inspired Word.

It is without error in all its teachings, including creation, history, its own origins, and salvation. Christians must submit to its divine authority, both individually and corporately, in all matters of belief and conduct, which is demonstrated by true righteous living.

We believe that all people are lost sinners

and cannot see the Kingdom of God except through the new birth. Justification is by grace through faith in Christ alone. Those who reject Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior in the present life shall be raised from the dead for eternal suffering and separation from God. Those who accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will be present with him for eternity in heaven.

We believe in one holy, universal, and apostolic Church.

Its calling is to worship and witness concerning its Head, Jesus Christ, preaching the Gospel among all people groups and demonstrating its commitment by compassionate service to the needs of human beings and promoting righteousness and justice.

We believe that Jesus Christ will personally and visibly return

in glory to raise the dead and bring salvation and judgment to completion. God will fully manifest His kingdom when He establishes a new heaven and new earth, in which He will be glorified forever and exclude all evil, suffering, and death.

We believe in the necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit

for the individual’s new birth and growth to maturity; and also for the Church’s constant renewal in truth, wisdom, faith, holiness, love, power, and mission.
