So far in 2025 we have provided

For over six decades, the Martinsburg Union Rescue Mission has served as a beacon of hope in Martinsburg, offering guidance to those in need. The Mission’s foundation lies in Matthew 28:19-20, commanding us to create disciples for Jesus Christ. Our programs aim to equip individuals to reintegrate into society as responsible, contributing members.

We foster a forward-thinking mindset that encourages program participants to become disciples of Christ through equipping, educating and empowering. This enables them to rejoin the local church and community with the necessary tools to contribute positively.

We believe that every person we assist holds value in the eyes of God and within the community. By demonstrating this value, individuals can discover the hope that resides within them.

Values

The Martinsburg Union Rescue Mission is dedicated to equipping individuals with discipleship in Jesus Christ. To facilitate this mission, our programs are structured around six fundamental values:

  • We believe that we first exist to glorify God and advance His kingdom; through grace, we receive, and through grace, we share

  • We highly value and intentionally serve each other, our guests, and our ministry partners, leading by following Christ’s example.

  • We invest in the spiritual, personal, and professional development of one another, restoring and equipping each other for intentional living

  • We are responsible for the time, talents, and treasures entrusted to us by God and our ministry partners and strive to maximize the impact of these resources 

  • We strive to provide excellent services, achieve results, impact our community, and be innovative and collaborative in our approach 

  • We give praise. We set others up to win. We celebrate and champion those God has placed around us. What we honor is what we receive.
