The Jersey Shore Rescue Mission is a Gospel Rescue Mission that ministers to the essential needs of men and women living in Monmouth County 365 days a year.
The Jersey Shore Rescue Mission was started by the leadership of the Market Street Mission in Morristown, NJ in 2006. The Market Street Mission has been helping disadvantaged men, women and children in Northern New Jersey since 1889.
The Market Street Mission is a Gospel Rescue Mission. As defined in a 1978 Mission newsletter, Gospel means 'good news'; Rescue means 'to deliver from actual or impending calamity'; and Mission means 'one sent'. Therefore, "the Market Street Mission is a place that has been established (sent) to deliver people from actual or impending calamity and to do this by using the good news of Christ." The Jersey Shore Rescue Mission will carry the same goal backed by 100 years of success and a professional staff experienced in rescue ministry.
The dream was alive in the heart of Executive Director David Scott since 1995. After careful prayer and planning the Board gave the go ahead and the 701 Memorial Drive property was purchased on May 23rd, 2006.
