God, give us ears to listen even as you form within us a charitable revolution that has at its core Your will, Your ways, and Your love.

-Pastor John LaMantia

The Anchorage Gospel Rescue Mission is a sober shelter that has provided emergency housing, food, fellowship, and job support (without red tape) to our Alaska neighbors for almost 60 years.

We are the only shelter in Anchorage where homeless people who are in recovery can self-select an environment that fosters their sobriety. Our mission accepts no local, state or federal funds. We are supported entirely by generous partnerships with caring individuals, businesses, and churches that share our mission to help people find new life in Christ and a new future.  All services are provided at no cost.

We have a good safety record and everyone entering for service will be breathalyzed. For those who test positive, a list of other shelter resources will be given upon request.
