"And the King will answer and say..., 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'" Matt. 25:40

The Kalamazoo Gospel Mission is the largest mission for the homeless in Southwest Michigan and has been a place of hope and restoration since 1933. For almost 75 years now, we have been seeking to fulfill our mission of Changing lives through the power of Christ. 

What began as a place where Jacob and Anna Hildebrand held tent meetings and served soup and sandwiches in an effort to show Christ's love, has now become a place where thousands of people have found a hot meal, warm bed and the message of salvation that will change their lives forever.

At our Mission we offer short-term emergency shelter and food. More importantly, we offer long-term programs tailored to addressing the core issues behind a person's homelessness.

We welcome the homeless to the Gospel Mission. We feed them, clothe them and support them as they learn new job skills and find work. Ultimately, under the guidance of God our Father and the blessing of the Holy Spirit, we direct our clients to the only One through whom true love, forgiveness and healing can come: the Lord Jesus Christ.
