Purpose
We are Christians from various churches who serve together for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The urban poor come to us from many different circumstances. They come from prison, from addiction, from abuse and homelessness. All of them downcast, without hope.
UGM seeks to bring the hope of Christ to them all year round.
Mission statement
Union Gospel Mission Sacramento exists to reach the urban poor with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the Word of God and acts of mercy.
Statement of faith
We believe in God,
the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.
