A PLACE TO HEAL, TO HOPE AND TO CHANGE
Our Bethel mission facility is the largest privately funded emergency shelter for homeless men in Iowa with 108 beds. Our shelter guests receive a clean and safe place to stay, hot and nutritious meals, Bible studies, individual case management and Christian counseling.
For men who wish to make lasting changes in their lives, we offer our 8-12 month Journey of Hope recovery program. The first step in this continuum of care is a program we call STEP (Structured Transition and Evaluation Period) which provides a two to four week time to evaluate the candidates’ level of commitment and their ability to live within a structured program that requires discipline and accountability. If it is determined that the STEP resident has demonstrated commitment to the program they are given the privilege to transfer to our Door of Faith facilities – a long-term recovery and rehabilitation center for homeless men.
Another function of our Bethel Mission facility is our public dining hall we call Hope Café. Three times a day we throw open our doors to anyone in the community who needs a meal at no cost. For more information about Hope Café CLICK HERE.

Located at 1310 6th Avenue in the heart of Des Moines' inner city, Bethel Mission has been involved in rescue ministry, offering hope to the hungry, homeless and hurting since 1915.
The simple gospel message of Jesus Christ is presented in nightly chapel services and through frequent interaction with the Mission's ministerial and counseling staff. Mission staff believes that the most important step to recovery is a foundation of faith in, and daily walk with, Jesus Christ.
