Union Gospel Mission

The Union Gospel Mission

Union gospel Mission Ministries, a member of the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions, was established in Spokane, Washington in 1951 as a non-profit Christian relief and rehabilitation agency. What began as a simple “soup kitchen” has evolved in a 24 hours-a-day, seven days a week social service agency whose purpose is to provide for the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of people in crisis. The Union Gospel Mission conducts its programs with a Christian, evangelistic purpose. The Articles of Incorporation state: “Our aim is not free meals, but freed persons; not free beds, but freed beings.” The Mission operates with the belief that lasting rehabilitation occurs as spiritual issues are resolved. Over 3,000 individuals benefit from the Union Gospel Mission’s services each year. Services provided at the Mission are offered free of charge through the continuing support of the caring people of Spokane.
