Gospel Rescue Mission

[ go back ]

The primary business of the Gospel Rescue Mission is found in its name. Gospel means "Good News" and it is the Good News of Jesus Christ that the Mission shares through word and deed.
The Gospel Rescue Mission was founded by Rev. Hobart Cox on January 1, 1931. It was first located in a storefront building at 128 South Second Street. It was during the Great Depression, and there were many needy people in Muskogee. Families came from all over to receive food, and transients also were housed and fed. 
The Gospel Rescue Mission is located at 326 S. Second Street in Muskogee.
