The Gospel Center Rescue Mission serves the homeless of San Joaquin County, California with eight distinct programs, helping over 1,000 men, women, and children each day at its Stockton based campus.
Since 1940, countless lives have been restored at Gospel Center Rescue Mission, and today our focus is more important than ever. We have the largest focus in San Joaquin County regarding the long-term recovery of homeless men, women and children, and are proud to have a 47% success rate. Our New Life Program has the capacity to help 40 men, and over 200 women and children. Within the next several years our men’s program will grow to 178. Additionally, we have broadened our services to provide the only Homeless Recuperative Care Program in San Joaquin County.
The Gospel Center Rescue Mission, Inc. is a ministry to the people of San Joaquin County where the homeless and addicted in our community are presented the opportunity for spiritual, physical, emotional restoration and equitable inclusion through the love of Jesus Christ.
In 1939, during the post-depression era, there was a growing concern for the homeless population and a few individuals were brought together to put their faith into action. On April 9, 1940, a non-profit was established, and a mission of rescue was initiated. With the help of additional people of faith from the Ripon area, programs were added to see to it that the homeless were fed, clothed, sheltered, received addiction treatment, medical care, and introduced to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible and authoritative word of God.
As a non-profit Christian ministry, the Gospel Center Rescue Mission bases its work on the teachings of Jesus Christ. We consistently combine our faith with action by serving the homeless, addicted, and less fortunate regardless of their religious beliefs, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity. We affirm our Christian identity with the following Statement of Faith in our Bylaws pertaining to our Board of Directors, full and part-time employees and volunteers.
