About Beacon Light Mission

Men’s and Women’s Shelters

We have 25 beds for women and 25 beds for men.

We offer daily meals: On shower days, our guests get a fresh set of clothing and hygiene needs.

We have daily chapel and daily devotions/Bible studies.

We are the only Gospel mission in the South Bay. Our mission is to minister the love and grace of Jesus Christ to the homeless by providing a safe and nurturing environment where they can receive food, clothing, temporary shelter, discipleship, and spiritual encouragement in their present life circumstances.
