The
Oroville Rescue Mission was built at it current location(4250 Lincoln Blvd) in 1973 to
meet the basic physical and spiritual needs of the transient populaton
in Oroville. For those "riding the rails" Oroville was a
common stopping place and the Rescue Mission was
strategically built adjacent to the rail yard. At the time a soup
kitchen and a warm place to stay, and exposure to the Gospel of Jesus
Christ was all that was offered. Over the next forty-five years the
Lord began to send men with vision to the Rescue Mission, and its
services to the community began to grow and continues to expand to meet
the ever growing needs of our community and it's surrounding areas.
Today the Oroville Rescue Mission is more than a stopping point for
transients. The Mission not only provides emergency shelter for men but
has a Women and Children's shelter as well. With it's
discipleship and recovery programs men and women are able to see their
lives restored through the power of Jesus Christ.What once was known as
a "stopping point" is now known as a "turning point"
