The purpose of Inner City Mission is taken from Romans 12:1-2: Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

It is our purpose to help those who walk through our doors to be able to let go of the past patterns of this world that have caused them a lot of chaos in their lives and be a change agent in their lives to bring them to transformation. We strive to bring renewal of people’s minds with the help of the Holy Spirit and the truth of God’s word.  Here is a quote from a former resident:

“I was homeless, and had just come through a mental breakdown. I needed help. I needed to stop making the terrible choices that were destroying my life. Down deep, I knew I needed God. Fortunately, the hospital called ICM, and I was offered a room. Saying yes was the best decision I ever made in my life. Slowly, I came out of my shell. Once I began to express what was so deeply hidden in my heart, I no longer felt all alone.” -- Melanie
