Lexington Rescue Mission

What a night. Our 25th Anniversary Banquet, Tapestry, brought together the staff, volunteers, donors, and friends who have woven themselves into this Mission's story for the past quarter century.

We celebrated because "the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations" (Psalm 100:5). Twenty-five years of that faithfulness on display, one thread at a time.

Thank you to everyone who came out to laugh, remember, and look ahead with us. Thank you to our sponsors for making the evening possible.

Here's to the next 25 years.

A huge thank you to Lane Of Roses for bringing their coffee cart to the mission today and serving more than 200 of our guests free coffee drinks. They went through 10 gallons of milk making all those lattes! What an amazing blessing.

If you're looking for a fun way to support a great ministry, I highly recommend booking their coffee cart for your workplace or event. It was a hit!

Hey Lexington, let's get loud again.

Gun violence took 19 lives in our city in 2025. Each one was someone's family member, friend, or neighbor. That's not a number we can look away from, and it's not one we can fix alone.

That's why Lexington Rescue Mission is proud to stand with ONE Lexington in raising awareness and working to prevent youth gun violence in our community. Change happens when neighbors show up for each other. Follow along this week as we share more.

25 years of ministry doesn't happen alone. We're celebrating the businesses whose generosity made our 25th Anniversary Banquet possible.

Thank you to Elliot and the Elliot Family of Brands, Hunt Brothers Pizza, and The Blinds Man for your partnership and belief in the work God is doing through the Lexington Rescue Mission. Because of sponsors like you, we can keep providing food, shelter, and hope to our Lexington neighbors.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever." Psalm 100:5

What a beautiful evening celebrating 25 years of the Lexington Rescue Mission! ❤️

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this milestone: and to every donor, volunteer, partner and friend who has been part of our story.

25 years. One incredible tapestry. 🙏

🇺🇸 Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the courage and sacrifice of those who served.

We will never forget.

Today, we celebrate 25 years of a story God has been weaving in Lexington. 🧵

In the fall of 2000, Jim and Becky Connell felt led by the Lord to start a ministry to the poor and homeless. Since then, we've grown to meet the needs of those we serve, from food and housing to treatment, employment, and re-entry after incarceration.

Every staff member, volunteer, client, donor, and partner is a thread in it. We won't see the whole design this side of heaven, but tonight we get to celebrate what He's done so far.

See you at Central Bank Center. Reception 5 p.m. | Program & Dinner 6-8 p.m.

"His steadfast love endures forever." — Psalm 100:5

69 residents were injured or killed by gun violence in Lexington in 2025. 10 were between 10 and 29 years old.
