Near the end of the Great Depression, two Salvation Army captains established a new organization in Mooresville: The Christian Mission. Founded in 1939, the Christian Mission has been providing hope, resources, and life-skills training to families in the Mooresville, Troutman, Mt. Ulla, Mt. Mourne and Cleveland areas. The organization annually serves more than 4,000 people with immediate needs such as utility, housing assistance, food, and clothing. In addition, they offer education and mentoring to improve the economic mobility of those they serve.
To celebrate the longevity of this organization that could only be accomplished through love, prayers and support of the public, this August has been set aside to celebrate 83 years of Gifts of Love and Dignity (GLAD) to the people they serve. During the month, the Mission will be reaching out to faith partners in the service area as well as the general community to offer information about their services.
Please stop by the Mission on Thursday, August 25th between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm for a GLAD Open House to celebrate their 83rd year. Take a tour of the Mission, enjoy light refreshments, and get a better feel of why the Mooresville Christian Mission is an important fixture in our community.
