Rev. Mike Edwards serves as President and CEO of City Mission Ministries, the umbrella organization which operates three City Missions located in Las Vegas, Nevada, Riverside and San Bernardino, California. 

     Before launching City Mission Ministries, Edwards served for 25 years as Program Director, president and then CEO of the Los Angeles Mission. 

     Under his leadership there, Edwards supervised the construction of a $31 million intercity Mission building that now serves 250 men in rehab and over 2,500 emergency service guests per day.

     Edwards is a graduate of the Kentucky Mountain Bible College. He has served as an elder and Commissioned Evangelist in the Church of the Nazarene for the past 33 years. 

     Mike and his wife Barbara have two children and have been married for 37 years.

     Since she was very young, her heart and passion has been to take care of the needy. To teach them... to give them tools to better their lives. 

     That is why in 1998 she was thrilled to be on the team from the Los Angeles Mission that planted the City Mission of Las Vegas... to provide a place where people could receive a hot meal, a safe place to rest, a warm blanket, a pair of shoes and a bit of dignity. 

     Her desire is to walk alongside others who just need a little help to get back on their feet... and hopefully, to help others find her friend Jesus.

     She has hugged the hurting through 20 years of working with Rescue Ministries (San Diego Rescue Mission, Orange County Rescue Mission, San Fernando Rescue Mission and the Los Angeles Mission)   

     She moved furniture, cleaned restrooms, lead Bible Studies, bandaged badly beaten men, driven BIG trucks, held seniors as they cried in loneliness, gratefully thanked the woman who gave $5,000 and got excited with the little child who sold his toys at a yard sale to raise $10 to give to the hungry. 

 

     Liz oversees the daily operations of our onsite outreach programs. . . feeding the hungry, offering help to the homeless, delivering food boxes to seniors citizens, shut-ins and poor families, managing clothing distribution and "Blessingdale", our free household item program.  Liz also coordinates our community outreach events such as The Bite of Las Vegas and the Four Corners Food Drive.

     Warren works with our homeless guests providing chapel services, bible studies, life-skill workshops, job training, spiritual counseling and our "Following Chist" discipleship program. 

     Tina coordinates our communication and fundraising programs including art direction, print production, mailing and record keeping.
