Appalachia Service Project Mission Trip
Sunday, July 12- Saturday, July 18
Register by January 11, 2026
www.tinyurl.com/LordofLifeASP2026

Appalachia Service Project is a Christian ministry, open to all people, that inspires hope and service through volunteer home repair and replacement in Central Appalachia. Each year, ASP provides emergency home repairs for nearly 650 families. Volunteers repair floors and roofs, build additions, and tackle other critical needs. By the work we do and values we witness, we restore hope to those caught in long-term poverty and build new relationships centered in Jesus Christ.

This summer, Lord of Life will load up and take a crew to Appalachia to join others in a week filled with prayer, work, fellowship, and praise. Whether you have excellent construction skills or are an awesome ladder holder, there is a place for you. We’ll return home with a passion for service, a renewed compassion for other people, and a fresh appreciation for your place and purpose in this world.

ASP is open to anyone who is at least 13 years old.
Complete details and registration online at www.tinyurl.com/LordofLifeASP2026

This summer, we are adventuring into the rainforest as we explore the nature of God! Mark your calendar for June 15-18. Sign-ups and volunteer opportunities will become available in April.

Volunteer in the garden!

Help us provide fresh produce to local food pantries. Garden knowledge is not necessary, training is provided, and learn by doing. Enjoy being outside in fellowship with others to work in the garden as physical abilities allow. We work in the garden primarily on Tuesday mornings especially once produce is ready to pick to align with the pantry hours. However, as weather impacts our plans, we schedule other days and times to keep up with activities. Communications are through regular emails and texts to keep everyone current with weather impacts. Please reach out to be added to the communications. We avoid working in the heat, cold, rain, or mud. Attend as you are able.
