PROVIDING FOR THE PRACTICAL AND SPIRITUAL NEEDS OF THE HUNGRY, HOMELESS AND HURTING

It is our desire to meet the immediate needs of our guests and to create an environment which inspires real life changes that lead to restoration and rehabilitation.

Offering Services for Homeless Individuals Since its founding in 1878, meals have been an essential service provided by the Mission to the disadvantaged men, women, and children in Philadelphia. Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission provides three meals a day every single day of the year to anyone in need.

In addition to serving meals, the Mission provides emergency homeless shelter services to men in our community. Sunday Breakfast provides 200 beds to those in need, and is equipped with additional cots when numbers swell due to extreme weather conditions.

Additional services offered include a Bible-based men’s recovery program, a women’s tran-sitional housing program, and suburban outreach programs.

SERMON SERIES… Written in Red We each have a past, a present, and a future. For some, the past is a quagmire of regret, the present a place of stuck helplessness, and the future nothing more than a black hole of un-certainty. All of these miss God’s best for us, and all are unnecessary given the amazing work Jesus Christ has done on our behalf. Join us as we learn how to experience freedom in our past, present, and future! YOUTH MINISTRY SEARCH. Please continue to pray for God’s will to be done in our Youth Ministry search process.
