CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments


Nashville Rescue Mission employs 124 men and women from the Middle Tennessee area. The majority of these positions are full-time. I'm proud to say, it's not uncommon for the Mission to hire men and women who have graduated from the Mission's Life Recovery Program. In our service to the over 7,000 unique individuals who have received some type of help or assistance from the Mission in the last year, there is a growing need for the work we are doing. As our opportunities to serve increases, so does the need for strong leadership. These will be key positions for us as we continue to pursue our core values of extravagant faith, radical hospitality, continuous improvement, excellence and a culture of honor.
