What is the AGRM?
   

How the AGRM is Organized

The Association of Gospel Rescue Missions was originally founded in 1913 as the "International Union of Gospel Missions."  The name was changed in 2000.  It is governed by the Board of Trustees which meets twice annually. The Board of Trustees is composed of these elected officers; President, Vice-President, Secretary-Treasurer. Six members are elected by the District Presidents Council, which is made up of the Presidents of AGRM's ten districts. Two AGRM Members are elected by the Track Chair Council, consisting of the chairpersons of all of the AGRM's Tracks. Four AT-LARGE members are elected by the Annual Meeting and three other members who are not employed by Member Rescue Missions will be elected by the Board of Trustees.   The districts are in turn divided into four regions.

Two memberships are maintained in the parent body:

  • An Individual Membership which is gained by application to and approval by the individual's district President.
  • In 1960, mission memberships were established. Previous to this time, a mission was a member of the organization by virtue of its executive head being a member of the organization. At this time, it became necessary for each mission, so desirous, to apply for membership by a vote of its board of directors. In 1982 an organizational membership dues system was adopted.
