Founded as early as 1893, Wheeler Mission is the oldest continuously operating ministry of its kind in the state of Indiana.

Wheeler Mission also has a vast array of volunteer opportunities. Wheeler would be the perfect location for your small group to come and minister to the facility itself or to the men and women in their care.
