MISSION STATEMENT:
“McDowell Mission Ministry is a Christian organization serving as an arm of its supporting churches, dedicated to impacting the lives of people in personal need by providing services and counseling through practical social and economic assistance in the name of Jesus Christ.”
WHAT WE ACCOMPLISH THROUGH OUR MINISTRIES:
- Our Crisis ministry provides food and financial assistance for rent/mortgage, utilities, heat, prescriptions, and transportation.
- Our Chaplain ministry provides a part time chaplain who works with inmates and their families at Marion’s two correctional institutions. He provides counseling, worship, and educational opportunities for the inmates.
- Our shelter ministry provides emergency housing for up to 23 men at the ThompsonCenter for Men and 40 beds at the Friendship Home for Women & Children. We also provide transportation to the residents at both shelters to work and appointments. Our goal is to see our residents return to a productive lifestyle. Sometimes this means giving them a safe place to live while they improve their education. Other times, this means providing a place where they are protected from an abusive situation. Most of the time, it means just giving them a place to get back on their feet financially. We provide informal counseling to all residents and abortion alternative counseling to pregnant women.
- Our clothing ministry at the ChristianClothingCenter provides low cost clothing, furniture, and appliances to the public. Proceeds from the sale of goods at the center are used by our various ministries.
