The Gospel Mission in downtown Dayton exists first and foremost to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ through the preaching of the Word of God and for assisting in the work or temporal relief of the poor. Their services are for anyone in need; physical, emotional and spiritual support is given freely. Services include a food pantry, thrift store, gym, daily meal, after-school children’s programs, and an adult Bible institute. There are opportunities to serve in these and other capacities every day, including evenings and weekends for those who work during the day
