• Serve together. UGM can provide direction for Christians who want to serve the poor but aren’t sure how. Church small groups regularly volunteer together at UGM’s shelters, and it’s a good opportunity to build relationships with one another as they serve together.
• Share the gospel. We need faithful teams of believers to conduct chapel services, pray for and with residents, and provide Bible studies and discipleship for residents touched by the gospel in the UGM chapel. Contact Men’s Chaplain Ron Molina at 509.536.3787 or ron.molina@uniongospelmission.org for more information.
• Welcome our residents. We depend upon local churches to provide a hospitable environment, spiritual support and friendship for UGM residents both before and after they move out. Most of our residents have little or no support and few healthy relationships outside UGM, and we need churches to bridge that gap.
• Partner financially. Understanding the “mission field” to be local as well as global, churches are some of UGM’s most valued and faithful financial partners.
• Join UGM Connect. Members of UGM Connect provide an important point of contact between UGM and local churches. Meeting twice a year, Spokane and Coeur d'Alene Connect members sponsor UGM projects and carry UGM needs before their church leaders and congregations to facilitate greater cooperation in the cause. Call 509.535.8510 in Spokane or 208.665.4673 in Coeur d’Alene for information about upcoming meetings.
