The Anchorage Gospel Rescue Mission is
dedicated to demonstrating the love and power of God and to bringing
people into a life-changing relationship with his son Jesus Christ. We
are a nonprofit organization who receives
NO municipal, state or federal funds. We
are not a United Way®
agency. Your financial support and In Kind donations make it
possible for us to provide for the poor, needy and homeless in our
community. We also administer educational and counseling programs in an
attempt to foster opportunities for healing, growth, and employment for
those in need.
Statement of Purpose
from the
constitution and by-laws of the Anchorage Gospel Rescue Mission Inc
(revised Oct 14, 1996):
· Article
II, Purpose: We are a Christian organization and our purpose is to
show God’s love through example and in a practical manner by providing
for the needs of the homeless, poor, needy and dysfunctional people in
our community. Our goal, is Rescue and Rehabilitation. Our
aim, is to return the people that come to use for help to being useful
citizens in Society.
Guiding Principals for
finding a new home for the Lord’s Lovely Mission on the Move:
· Follow
the Mission’s stated corporate Purpose and remain non-profit,
non-denominational and non-discriminatory.
· Make
and follow a 100 year plan and adjust it periodically.
· Be
a good neighbor.
· Work
cooperatively with other homeless agencies.
· Avoid
a fight for everyone. Remain lowly, meek, long suffering and
forebear others in love, no matter what. Love people into
cooperation. Turn the other cheek but don’t run the other way.
Submit and seek changes.
· Don’t
give up. Expect a miracle.
