Our Mission Statement

Mission Arlington^®/Mission Metroplex^® is a faith-based organization which utilizes hundreds of volunteers and a multitude of services to assist people with their physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Leadership, Accountability, and Transparency

Tillie Burgin, our Executive Director, has provided leadership, under God, from the beginning – since August 1st of 1986. Mission Arlington^®/Mission Metroplex^® is also led, supported, and prayed for by an independent team of people who meet monthly to hear reports, evaluate the ministry, and to pray for God’s work here. The finances of the mission are reviewed monthly by our board, and submitted annually to an independent, well-respected, local team of auditors who review the financials and report back to the Board.
