Mission
The mission of Galveston Urban Ministries (GUM) is to develop holistic relationships to transform the beloved Galveston community using GUM-E's: Engage, Equip and Empower. Continued on Sch O. By teaching kids to read, helping adult neighbors prepare to enter the workforce, or educating work groups all over Texas to alleviate poverty, GUM's goal is to see the North Broadway community thrive. GUM wants each of its Galveston neighbors to have healthy families, good-paying jobs, and above all else, to know the abundant love of Jesus. To achieve this, GUM 1) Engages in deep relationships and expresses the love of Christ, 2) Equips others with resources to fight poverty, and 3) Empowers everyone to be physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy and to create sustainable and God-honoring lives.
