Partnering With The OC Rescue Mission
SERVE RESIDENTS AT THE RESCUE MISSION BY GIVING THEM A RIDE TO CHURCH
Our church is grateful to be connected with local the non-profit, Orange County Rescue Mission! The Rescue Mission is a non-profit organization that seeks “to minister the love of Jesus Christ to the Least, the Last, and the Lost of the Community” through residential and transitional housing programs for men, women, and children who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Though these programs are available to individuals all across our county, the work of the Rescue Mission has historically made a big impact upon and served many Santa Ana neighbors as well.
As a church, we’ve been privileged to have Rescue Mission staff members, program alumni, and current program residents make up our membership over the past few years. And as a church, one of the primary ways we partnered with the Mission prior to the pandemic was through providing transportation to and from our Sunday services to Rescue Mission residents who were interested in joining a local church. This aspect of our service in the community was put on hold at the outset of the pandemic, but as of this past Sunday, 7/4 has resumed once again! This is where you come in. We’re on the look out for drivers who can transport these students and their families to and from church each Sunday.
If you’re interested in serving our community this way, please contact Pastor Jeff at jeff@crossofgracsa.org for further information on how you can spread the joy of Jesus to the residents of the Rescue Mission.
