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.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ephesians 6:12
Rescue Mission Rezone Petition Granted
After an exhausting 6 years we have finally
taken a small step forward in our bid to reclaim the beds lost while you
were here. The planning & Zoning commission, last night at 10:30 PM,
Approved three key Mission applications they are:
Case No: 2011-130: Rezoning of approximately
1.85 acres from B-3 (General Business district) and R-3 (Multiple-family
residential district) to PLI (Public land and institutions).
Case No: 2011-131: A Conditional Use For a
Habilitative Care Facility for 30-person residential-based adult
addiction recovery program in the PLI District.
Case No: 2011-132: Amendment to a de facto
conditional use for 70- person homeless shelter in the PLI District.
What a victory for Christ.
The next step is to present this to the
