On May 9th, Mission First Alliance proudly hosted the ribbon cutting and open house for our newly established National Headquarters—a dedicated space designed to serve, support, and strengthen the first responder community and our ministry partners. The event was a vibrant celebration of God’s provision and the incredible people who have come alongside this mission.

We were honored to welcome local first responders, community supporters, alliance members from neighboring regions, and ministry partners who joined us for the event. Throughout the day, guests explored the new space, shared in encouraging conversations, and caught the vision for how this headquarters will be used for years to come. One special moment included a local prayer group who stopped by to pray over the building, covering it in peace and purpose for all who enter.

The new headquarters features meeting areas, lounging spaces, a kitchenette, and a dedicated podcast studio—all thoughtfully designed to create a warm, relaxing, and welcoming environment. This space will serve as a hub for ministry meetings, a quiet refuge where first responders can rest, pray, and recharge, and a location where God-centered conversations and community can flourish.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our generous sponsors and supporters who made this vision possible:

And the many others who donated furnishings, supplies, and support to bring this space to life.

This is just the beginning. More to come as we share how this space will be used regularly by the first responder community, offering a place of rest, connection, and spiritual encouragement.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in person or in spirit. We are grateful for your prayers and support as we continue to stand with those who serve first.

Jeremy Wade is the Executive Director of Mission First Alliance. He served for the Seattle Police Department for 13 years, but struggled with his identity in Christ vs his identity in the badge early in his career. After a few years on the department he fully surrendered his life to the Lord, which started an amazing journey that the Lord has been blessing along the way. While not free from challenges like the Seattle riots, and many critical incidents, Jeremy could see God’s hand in directing his paths. On the Seattle PD, Jeremy was awarded Officer of the Year, and Medal of Valor. He worked in patrol, in the training unit, as a peer support coordinator, and assisted in developing the department’s first wellness unit. He co-founded the SPD Beds for Kids Program with Ryan Gallagher, which continues on today. Jeremy also served as the executive director of the Seattle Police Chaplains Association and came alongside many other local and national first responder ministries. In 2021, Jeremy, his wife Ketryna, and four kids felt God calling them to move to Tennessee and step out in faith to do full-time ministry, supporting first responders nationwide. This led to serving as the Training & Development Coordinator for the Fellowship of Christian Peace Officers- USA until God started directing his path and opening doors to start Mission First Alliance.
