Special Events
Septemberfest
We are saddened to announce that we are cancelling Septemberfest 2020. We feel this is the right decision for safety, respect and appreciation of our donors and their visitors due to the CDC's COVID-19 social distancing recommendation. We, however, are already excited about Septemberfest 2021 and Mission Gate’s individual charity events for each site. Please watch here for updates and more information.
Rick and I along with Mission Gate’s board and staff invite you and your friends to tour our various residential aftercare sites in St. Louis, Crawford County or Lincoln County for fellowship and a meal. Please call , text or email Trish Mathes 314-800-7664 or missiongateministry@msn.com to schedule a date that will suit your schedule. You will be able to meet and hear testimonies of some of our residents who have turned their lives from crime to Christ. We will have a small group where we can properly social distance and be safe.
What Mission Gate is all about
Bringing freedom into prison

Our staff and volunteers take the Gospel into Missouri prisons and jails.
They share the Gospel, teach strategies for right living, and help inmates break the chains of crime.
What a privilege it is to see ex-prisoners' eyes light up when they see a ray of hope. Change becomes believable. Life becomes manageable. Living life fully becomes a reality.

Our program gives many desperate men and women their last chance to change.
After 9 months of intensive work, these same individuals stand tall and strong at graduation. They're ready to rejoin their families and contribute to their places of work, churches, and communities.

Partnering with communities
Local churches and communities are an important part of our recovery program.
Churches welcome our men and women as contributing members of the congregation, helping them put their spiritual gifts to work.
Many local employers prefer to hire from Mission Gate because of our residents' positive attitudes, excellent work attendance, and job performance with no worry about drugs or alcohol.
