Appalachia Mission Trip 2025
In the Rattlesnake Ridge community of McCreary County, Kentucky, several hundred Christ Community members and families, for almost 30 years, have dedicated themselves to following Paul’s message to the Ephesians (2:10): "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
This ongoing mission supports the work of Integrated Community Ministries in one of the poorest counties in the U.S. We serve as Jesus’ hands and feet.
We’ve built long-term, faith-centered relationships with a community whose resources are few and hearts are desperate for the love of Jesus. Unexpected, but rewarding benefits, include:
• Beginning new friendships and strengthening old ones with our brothers and sisters on the Ridge, as well as with fellow Christ Community members.
• Growing our faith.
• Teaching our kids the reward and value of service.
Please consider:
• Joining us! Trip dates are June 5-8
• Or supporting the mission through donations of any amount – these twice-yearly missions cost roughly $8000-10,000
Age limits for the Home Repair Ministry: 8 and up. Kids 8-12 will require a site leader’s approval, parent’s consent, and (1) parent’s participation on site.
