Water Street Mission

Since 1917 our purpose has been to advance the kingdom of God through the gospel of Jesus Christ and to do missionary, relief,and rescue work of all kinds.

Water Street Ministries began in 1905 by a doctor and his wife that saw the need to provide for homeless people in the Lancaster area. With the partnership of the generous community, the Water Street Rescue Mission has grown in response to the needs in our community over the years. We expanded services deepening our community impact to include youth, health, recovery, and early learning programs.
