Group Missions to Appalachia

I felt God call me to pray for a single mother and on the second day. I saw a mother walking in a store with her kid and felt God call me towards her. I was able to pray with her and her kid and while I was praying I felt God tell me to pay for her groceries!
Since 1989 we’ve been mobilizing the church to engage with Jesus and join His work at home and abroad. We’ll connect you with these opportunities while taking the hassle and guess work out of planning your trip to Appalachia.

Top 3 Most Common Mission Trip Questions

Mission Trip Details

Meet the People of Appalachia

The Appalachian Mountains are renowned worldwide for their stunning natural beauty. With steep wooded hills, narrow valleys, and winding streams, they are truly a natural wonder. Despite this beauty, the people of Appalachia face significant challenges, struggling daily with poverty and its many effects.

Endowed with abundant natural resources, these communities still fight against economic hardships. Many residents live below the national poverty line, contending with issues such as drug and alcohol addiction, poor health, and limited educational opportunities. These struggles have contributed to a “culture of poverty,” leading to joblessness and distressed communities.

The Appalachian people come from a proud heritage of hard work and resilience. However, years of economic and social difficulties have taken a toll. Many individuals work multiple jobs and rely on government aid to make ends meet.

What these communities need most is hope—hope for a better future and the assurance that change is possible. By coming together, we can help bring that hope to life, supporting the people of Appalachia in their journey towards a brighter tomorrow.

Service Opportunities

Your group mission trip will have several community engagement opportunities in Duffield, VA! Here’s a glimpse of how you can make a positive impact:

  • Elderly Care: Mostly helping with home repairs, cleaning, or projects around their houses. You could also visit a senior center where you will be able to play games, sing songs, or simply just have a conversation with some elderly people.
  • Recovery Program Ministry: Specializing in recovery programs for youth, families, and adults, one of our partners helps those recovering from alcohol or substance abuse learn to live their lives drug-free and alcohol free. They provide free programs and services through education, training, counseling and mentoring, to combat addictions. Your teams will have the opportunity to work at the youth center, thrift store and apartment complex. This could entail fellowshipping, sidewalk VBS, distributing clothes, landscaping, light construction, and prayer walks.
  • Homeless Ministry: There are several homeless shelters for men, women, and children who may be impoverished economically, educationally, emotionally and/or spiritually. Here, your team might do light construction, cleaning, organizing, or landscaping. This is also a great place to fellowship and share your faith.
  • Thrift Store: Here your team might help by sorting clothes that are donated as well as furniture and merchandise. Cleaning, organizing, helping customers, and fellowshipping with each other and the people all around there.
  • VBS: You could have the opportunity to facilitate some kids camps or programs for the local community children.
Living Arrangements

There’s a spacious bathhouse with separate areas for men and women, complete with washers and dryers. While the cabins themselves don’t have electricity, you’ll have access to electricity and Wi-Fi at the church nearby. Enjoy your stay!

Transportation

Also, please note that air fare is not included in our costs, so you’ll need to consider that in your planning.

Cooking

We have a full kitchen equipped with anything you might need. Preparing meals is a team effort, and we have a blast doing it together! Everyone will get a chance to help with meal prep and serving.

For breakfast, you’ll enjoy options like cold cereal, fruit, and bagels. If your group is up for it, we can also whip up some hot breakfasts.

Lunches will be packed with sandwiches, fruit, and a side to take along to the ministry site. After a day of serving, we’ll come together for a hot dinner, either at the church or during ministry events. Let’s make mealtime both delicious and fun!

Safety

Your safety is our top priority! We’ve got an internal Risk Management team and external consultants working together to ensure a safe experience. Our multi-pronged approach includes monitoring information from reporting agencies and leveraging the expertise of our ministry partners.

We have clear protocols in place, like ensuring students are always with an adult. Plus, our ministry hosts will share specific safety guidelines tailored to your trip location. Our Project Leaders are trained in risk management and have access to both on-field and home-office support, ensuring you’re in good hands throughout your journey.
