What is TSOS?

The Temporary Safe Outdoor Shelter (TSOS) is a secure, staffed community in Missoula that provides immediate refuge and a clear path forward for individuals experiencing homelessness.

Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, TSOS offers residents a safe place to rest, recover, and begin rebuilding their lives. Each person stays in a private, hard-sided shelter while receiving compassionate support and practical resources designed to help them move toward independence.

"TSOS is the first step towards permanent stability; and ultimately, permanent stability in Christ."

-Jake Mudrezow | Executive Director

During Their Stay, participants receive...

• A personalized case plan designed to guide them toward stability and long-term housing
• Housing navigation and employment support to help secure work and permanent housing
• Financial coaching, including help creating a budget and savings plan once employment begins
• Access to showers, hygiene items, and health outreach services
• Discipleship, prayer, and spiritual encouragement

TSOS is more than a shelter — it is a launch point for transformation.

Values

Gospel-Centered: we believe in Jesus Christ and His path of life-transformation. Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15, Acts 1:8 Client-Focused: we believe in relational commitment and radical hospitality to the poor, the addicted and the unhoused. Our fuel is eye-to-eye life with people walking the path of transformation. Isaiah 58:6-7 Innovative-Grit: we believe in obedience to Jesus when facing the facts of current realities, and still moving faith-forward to serve the poor, our partners, and the community with His grace and truth. Luke 4:18-19

What is Incarnational Ministry?

We are called to be witnesses of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. This work is not about us — not our reputation, our church, or our organization. It is about Him and the people He loves. When we serve in His way and for His glory, a faithful reputation will follow — not for ourselves, but for Christ to be seen and known. We are not the saviors. We are witnesses to The Savior.

This is where it begins. Jesus became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). He entered our world. He stepped into our reality. The incarnation is not only one of the most profound truths of the Gospel — it is our model for ministry.

Just as Christ came near to us, we are called to go and come near to others — to step into their world as they are, where they are. Not to control or coerce, but to faithfully bear witness by being present. The power of our witness is found in our “with-ness” — walking alongside, offering hope, and reflecting Christ through relationship.
