In the heart of DC, Gospel Rescue Ministries strives to be a shelter in the storm of substance abuse, hunger, and homelessness.  A non-denominational Christian social service agency, GRM exposes hurting men and women to God\\''s healing love through programs that focus on transforming lives from the inside out.  For the past 100 years, GRM has provided hope, help, and healing to men and women in a variety of ways, from sheltering the homeless and feeding the hungry, to educating men and women, healing them from addictions, and providing them with the vocational skills and spiritual strength to change their lives.

We are excited about what has happened in 100 years, and we are even more excited to think of what else God has in store for us.  This year we are recommitting ourselves to this work with the downtown DC community, open to where the Spirit leads us.  Won''t you join us?

 

Our History

 

Gospel Rescue Ministries was established on May 12,1906 as "the Gospel Mission" to offer religious services to men.  Within four years, GRM grew from those simple origins into something that would further benefit the nation''s capitol.  The services expanded to include food, shelter, and work programs.  That expansion has continued for nearly 100 years and is growing by leaps and bounds as we continue to seek new ways of helping people.  

  • Fast forward nearly a century to 1993, GRM took a new turn and established a drug treatment program for men, now called the Transforming Lives Ministry. 
  • In 1994, the School of Tomorrow opened its doors, adding the essential component of education to our array of services. 
  • GRM added transitional housing resources in 1998.
  • The Fulton House of Hope women''s program was established in 2000.
  • The transitional work program, Ready To Work began in 2003.
  • The BEST Job Development program got off the ground in 2004.

And more features and programs are on the way! 

Today at GRM, 100 years later, we are pleased to continue to offer help, hope, and healing to those struggling with addiction.  Our hope is that through the power and grace of God, men and women in our programs will take advantage of the resources and opportunity to choose a new vision for their lives beyond the destruction of drugs, violence, and crime.

 

Our Philosophy

 

Gospel Rescue Ministries exposes men and women to God''s healing love in a caring environment that provides education, confrontation, guidance and support. The goal is to develop skills and awareness that promote an ongoing, positive lifestyle change. In this environment, members develop a sense of self-esteem and become motivated by a new vision of life. They develop concern for others and an appreciation for integrity, community, compassion, and fun.
