Church Partnerships
Become not just a sayer but a doer of God’s word. Partner with us.
If you're a person of faith who attends a church, you know what a big difference exists between professing God's truth and actually living it. But if we know this, circumstances — Christianity on the decline and churches languishing across the country, the demands of our jobs and families, the challenges of surviving in our economy — make engaged and committed service to our neighbors and community tougher than ever to prioritize.
We recognize that our churches face a unique challenge — that of growing their ministries while also remembering that our love of Christ must come from the cross, that is, in our willingness to imitate His sacrifice, to forego some of our own needs and comforts to extend compassion to our neighbors in their need.
We believe that extraordinary times call for extraordinary acts of love. Your contributions can look like:
Financially supporting the Mission by donating clothing, food or services. Regular monetary gifts are especially appreciated in our current climate. (If your church community consists of healers such as chiropractors, musicians, massage therapists, art therapists or counselors, we could also very much use their talents to bring much-needed healing, creativity and beauty to our guests).
Volunteering a few hours a week, either in a church group or on your own, as a sous chef/dishwasher in our kitchen, a lay counselor talking to our guests at breakfast and lunch, or sorting donations and food.
Inviting the Silver City Gospel Mission to your church to give a presentation about our work and on the issue of homelessness. As our organization continues to grow, we see the raising of awareness as a vital piece of our calling.
“The way to deeper knowledge of God is through the lonely valleys of soul poverty and abnegation of all things. The blessed ones who possess the Kingdom are they who have repudiated every external thing and have rooted from their hearts all sense of possessing. These are the ‘poor in spirit.” — A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God
“Prayer is never an acceptable substitute for obedience. The sovereign Lord accepts no offering from His creatures that is not accompanied by obedience. To pray for revival while ignoring or actually flouting the plain precept laid down in the Scriptures is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble.” — Of God and Men
We thank our 2024 church partners who heard the call and have humbly risen with their Gospel response to meeting the challenge of poverty and despair in our community. God bless you.

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.”
