Visalia Rescue Mission
The Visalia Rescue Mission is a Christian Social Service organization. The Mission has been called "The Mission of the Churches". It was established in 1981 to represent the Church to the Tulare/Kings County homeless. We also are here to minister to the formerly incarcerated and those with addictions.
The specific objectives of the Ministry are as follows:
- To minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
- To serve the total needs of the resident.
- To make disciples in Jesus Christ.
- To prepare residents for return to societal living and become assets to the community.
- To strengthen ties with area evangelical churches and give them opportunities to reach out to the needy on an on-going basis.
- To cooperate with other agencies and organizations (i.e. Tulare County Drug Court, Probation Departments, State Prisons, County Jails) to alleviate hunger, homelessness and substance abuse. This will in no way prohibit or compromise our goal of professing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
