The Union Gospel began as a street ministry in 1949 when a group of Christian businessmen took to the streets of Dallas, telling the poor about God’s love for them. Through the 1950’s the Mission operated out of two rented buildings on Ervay Street, south of downtown offering food and clothing to those in need through a volunteer staff.

In 1962 we opened our first homeless shelter on Park Avenue, sheltering up to 75 men and 30 women. When Bill Thompson became Executive Director in 1988, he formalized our 4-phase, faith-based rehabilitation program that has transformed countless lives through spiritual counseling, job training- and God’s redemptive love. (Mission clients who graduate from our program are referred to as “disciples.”)
