Summer Mission Trip 2023

This summer, June 11-17, 6 CUMC youth and 5 adults will travel to eastern Kentucky with the Appalachian Service Project (ASP) repairing homes for low-income families. They will travel by car and will likely sleep on the floor in an elementary school gymnasium during their stay.

Many homes in this area were destroyed after last year’s torrential floods.  Work done by our mission team may include repairing roofs, floors, foundations, or bathrooms, adding ramps to improve accessibility, and helping to build new houses to replace those beyond repair.

Since 1969, ASP has been bringing thousands of volunteers from around the country to rural Central Appalachia making homes warmer, safer, and drier for low income families and providing transformational service experiences for volunteers. Each year, more than 15,000 volunteers serve with ASP, providing critical repairs for more than 350 families.

We invite you to support our mission team with your prayers and your monetary donations.  Funds raised will help with the cost of transportation, food, and building materials.
