Dear Friends,

​

Twenty-five years ago, I felt a deep calling to see true, lasting change in Jackson, Mississippi—a change that I knew could only come through Jesus Christ. What began as a simple vision for  a run-down apartment complex has, by God’s grace, grown into Mission First—a ministry dedicated to serving, equipping, and transforming lives in our community.

 

Today, Mission First is partnered with the Jackson metro community, meeting the needs of those who need us most. Through medical and dental care, legal aid, after-school programs, and our early learning center, we walk alongside individuals and families, providing both practical help and the hope of the Gospel. Every service we offer is rooted in our belief that true restoration is only possible through Christ.

​

If you or someone you know is in need of quality medical or dental care, legal assistance, or programs for children, we invite you to visit us. We are here to serve you with excellence and the love of Christ. Likewise, if you feel called to be part of this mission and want to see lives transformed by the power of the Gospel, we invite you to volunteer or give. Your generosity allows us to continue this life-changing work, meeting both physical and spiritual needs in our community.

​

None of this would be possible without faithful donors and supporters like you. Thank you for believing in this work and for standing with us as we continue to love, serve, and uplift our city—all for the glory of God.

​

With gratitude,

​

Lee Thigpen
Executive Director, Mission First
