Founded in 1955, by Rev. Lloyd and Dorothy Lambert, Christian Center Rescue Ministries was an outgrowth from a jail ministry. Rev. Lambert saw a need for the men whose lives had been changed to have a transitional place to stay upon their release. More than 50 years later the same ministry has expanded to meet the needs of men, women and children in various situations and stages of life. The ministry provides food, clothing, and household items to anyone in the community who is in need of help.

The Christian Center Rescue Ministries is a ministry which houses, clothes, and feeds all those who come to us. We have an average of 50 men that stay with us every night. Just as our name suggests, we believe wholeness and healing begins with knowing God and Jesus Christ as our Savior. We offer several bible studies, devotional times, and chapel services for residents and walk-ins.

Offering help and hope is our goal. We extend a helping hand and God does the rest.
