Serving The Auburn Area
Those who are benefiting from the Mission’s help would give back to the community. A creative and flexible program would be developed so mission residents could bless Auburn. The program could include temporary free or paid labor assistance i.e. roadside or backyard trash pick up, pruning, painting, window washing, tool repair etc. This process would give the mission residents the opportunity to give back and bless others thereby lifting their feeling of worth. It would also draw the privileged and outcast together and improve the broader communities opinion of a “homeless shelter” and the Auburn Gospel Mission.
Management And Leadership

The board also oversees the facilities of the mission and the current or future services to the community as God leads.
Christian Missionary Support
The mission is financed and built by a cooperative and invested support of local christians that would like to serve the local community as missionaries. Individuals would serve by giving personal time and resources. Serving would come from lay and professional people with experience and skills in business, medicine, education, construction, the arts and the law. Financial support would come primarily from churches businesses and individuals. The mission will be licensed as a 501(c)(3) not for profit business and never seek or rely on government grants or support.
