Welcome
to our Executive Director

As GAP continues to grow in both the number of services and mission partners, the GAP Board saw that a new sort of leadership was key to a positive future of "filling the gap" between abundance and need. The Board created the new full-time position of Executive Director to lead GAP's  growth in volunteer service, fundraising and interaction with the community. The Board is happy to announce that Naomi "Nomi" Stanton has been appointed to fill the position.

Nomi started on April 18 and is rapidly learning all about GAP's ministries. She says, "It is with tremendous pride and gratitude that I introduce myself to you all as the first Executive Director of GAP Ministries. This incredible organization which is comprised of a dedicated board and multitude of devoted volunteers is very well respected in our community- when I discovered that GAP was hiring, I more than jumped at this opportunity. I come to you all as a military wife, a Mom to 3 beautiful children and a wealth of knowledge in regards to the population of folks that we serve.

"I’m on the Homeless Task Force, a Rotarian and serve as the Development Chair on the Executive Board for the Salvation Army. I am also the advisor to 2 nonprofits on Fort Gordon; The Fort Gordon Spouses and Civilians Club and The Christmas House. Service above self is how I live my life and how I hold myself accountable. It is an understatement when I say how excited I am to be here with you all and I look forward to working alongside you as we continue to grow our mission."

“If you see some brother or sister in need and have the means to do something about it but turn a cold shoulder and do nothing, what happens to God’s love?”
1 John 3:17-18

GAP Ministries is committed to providing a “one-stop” service location to help people seeking to reclaim their physical and spiritual well-being, or to assist them with the extra support that they need to maintain a stable and secure lifestyle. Transportation and the time spent waiting in line is a problem for most people living in the margins of society. If they can get assistance for multiple needs in one place, it can relieve a lot of stress. With this goal, we are considering how we can expand as we continue the renovation of our building.

Organization and Support:

GAP Ministries is a 501(c )3 non-profit organization devoted to providing services to the marginalized and ignored. We assist those who need support to regain physical and financial security as well as those who need help to have enough to get by on. GAP was founded in 1979 as a coalition of Presbyterian and Disciples of Christ churches, operating out of the Greene Street Presbyterian Church. After the Greene Street congregation disbanded, GAP purchased the church building in 2014 for use as a mission center.

GAP Ministries is governed by a Board of Trustees chosen from supporting churches and community leaders. There is an Executive Director and a Administrator. All other work is done by volunteers. GAP is funded from pledges and donations from supporting churches and individuals, from foundation grants, and from in-kind donations of food and other goods needed.

We work to create a community of shared blessing based on the conviction that all are equally beloved children of God.

Thanks to all our generous supporters:

GAP currently receives ongoing financial support from Advent Lutheran, Central Christian, Covenant Presbyterian, Fairview Presbyterian, First Presbyterian Church Augusta, Reid Memorial Presbyterian, St Andrew Presbyterian, and Trinity on the Hill Methodist. Donations of money, clothing or food also come from individuals, businesses, and groups in the community.

GAP also has recently received grant support from groups such as the Community Foundation of the CSRA, the Knox Foundation, the Exchange Club, the Creel Harison Foundation, the Cullum Foundation, the Georgia Baptist Health Care Ministry Foundation, Women in Philanthropy, the J. B. White Foundation, and the Widow’s Home.
