CTM was founded in 1949, and opened its doors as the Flint Rescue Mission in 1950. Reverend John Schaich was its' first Director. Our purpose is to care for the homeless and needy in the Flint, Michigan, and Genesee County areas.Homeless means no place to sleep, not knowing where your next meal will come from, carrying your possessions in bags, your children not getting an education, losing contact with family and friends and depending on strangers and agencies for survival. Often we are their last chance. They need our understanding, our love, and the hope that can come only from the Lord.
