Why a Mission in Bremerton?

Bremerton Rescue Mission exists to deliver help and hope to the homeless and poor who live in Bremerton and outlying areas of Kitsap County through mobile outreach efforts and a network of student/discipleship houses.

 

With thirteen churches or groups serving meals around town – albeit stretched between Port Orchard, Bremerton, Poulsbo and even Kingston - why another effort to feed?

Even these thirteen churches and groups, along with the Bremerton Salvation Army, which serves no evening meals, cannot meet the demands of nearly 1,400 folks who are homeless in Kitsap County – spread from Port Orchard to Poulsbo and beyond.

At present there are only twenty-five beds for single homeless men in Kitsap County and only eighteen beds for single women!!

Bremerton Rescue Mission’s aim is to bring the individual off the street, or out of the camp, out of the shelter, and into learning a new way to live. Once we have our mobile service up and running we’ll concentrate on purchasing homes that will provide residence for the men and women who would want to find a new life – away from the old life.

 

The Mission will adopt a social enterprise model to its recovery/discipleship model. Believing that business ownership and management are possibilities for the formerly homeless man or woman, the mission will work with an advisory board of business people to launch these businesses.

 

Believing in the principles of Christian stewardship – to marshal our time, talent and treasure for God’s kingdom - the Mission will work to develop a strong corps of volunteers and financial partners to build a network of outreach, discipleship houses and businesses.


Bremerton Rescue Mission will be serving in a very honoring way
with excellent meals, showers, hygiene packs and more in a well-lit and loving environment with good stories, prayer and friendships. This is why we are investing in high end equipment – shower trailer and catering truck.
