The Word of God is taught at Union Gospel Mission in hopes the Holy Spirit will use it to bring personal reformation and a deeper commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ among men who are given place here. God has occasioned some of these men to find their way spiritually, to make a beginning in residing in Jesus Christ as Lord and to cease their aimlessness
Our mission is overseen by Jon Rector, right. He has been the executive director since 2003. Prior to that Jon spent 3 years as chaplain with the Chattanooga Rescue Mission.
The other paid staffer is Wayne Hammel, our program director. Wayne handles the Bible study program (GRACE discipleship program) and chapel schedule. He began his involvement with Union Gospel Mission in 2000 as a volunteer.
Bro. Jon and Bro. Wayne share the preaching responsibilities for Sunday morning, Sunday evening and Wednesday evening church services.
