ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION GAP Ministries, a faith-based ministry standing in the GAP for those in need in three core areas: Children, Family, and Community. GAP has been serving Southern Arizona since 1999.


CHILDREN - GAP Ministries began by caring for foster children in the home of our founders, and that aspect of the ministry has grown over the years, depending on the need, from 9-14 family model group homes where the love of God is shared with the children and teens each day. GAP also licenses and trains individuals and couples to care for foster children to increase the number of homes where these children can live and thrive while away from their own family.

FAMILY - Children are at the heart of GAP, but if we continually care for abused and neglected children but never help their families, it becomes a never-ending cycle. If we can begin to heal these families we can change the direction of their lives and generationally impact them going forward. To heal the root causes of the foster care crisis, GAP has programs to provide supervised visitation and parent aid for the birth parents. It is our desire and goal to see healthy restoration of families when possible

COMMUNITY - Breaking cycles of poverty and creating transformed communities. Tucson is a beautiful city, but unfortunately there are many children, women, and men who are really struggling. One in four of our residents are below the poverty line. GAP's Community Warehouse reclaims food and new items from major retailers that would otherwise end up in landfills, and redistributes them to individuals in need through nonprofit partnerships.


GAP Ministries is all about impacting One Life. Because we believe each and every person matters to God, we strive to lift up each child we care for and each individual we serve to become all God made them to be and live out their best life.
EOE STATEMENT We are an equal employment opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status or any other characteristic protected by law.

About GAP Ministries

GAP's mission is simple: Standing in the GAP for those in need. Bringing help to children, healing to families, and hope to the community. GAP has been an advocate for children and at-risk populations since 1999, serving in 3 core areas: Children: GAP daily cares for 100 children and teens in the foster system who have experienced abuse and neglect in 10 family-oriented group homes. Family: GAP licenses foster caregivers to address a growing need. GAP serves the families of children in foster care by providing a safe place for supervised visitation between parents and their children with the g...oal of a healthy reunification when possible. Women impacted by addiction can find restoration and renewal through an 18-month individualized program. Community: GAP provides food and basic need items to men, women, and children through partnerships with over 35 nonprofits and churches through our Community Warehouse. The GAP Kitchen prepares 1000 meals each week for low-income school children, the elderly, and other at-risk individuals, and the Culinary Job Training Program allows individuals coming from a difficult past the opportunity for a second chance career. Our goal is to continually evolve in these areas to Stand in the GAP for the children we serve, with the strong hope and sincere desire that generational cycles of poverty, addiction, and a growing foster care system can be healed ONE LIFE at a time. Breaking these cycles through the power of God can lead to HEALTHIER FAMILIES and this creates TRANSFORMED COMMUNITIES. More
