Volunteer Opportunities with Christian Appalachian Project
SERVICE TRIPS: CHURCHES
ANSWER THE CALL
Since 2019, God’s Way Church has fulfilled Jesus’s call to love one another by serving people in need in Appalachia. “When we first came to CAP it was our intention to change the lives of the participants for the better, and we did,” said group member Barry Ballew. “But the biggest takeaway was how much it challenged each of us on the team to be more like Jesus.”
During the group’s first year of service, teams made an impact on two families while remodeling their homes. The second year the group came back and made repairs to the home of another grateful family.
During Barry’s mission trip experience at CAP, he became close with a participant family while working on their home. He invited them to Family Night, an event hosted by CAP for mission groups and the participant families they serve, and over the time they shared, Barry realized they had a lot in common.
Members of groups who want to be a part of CAP do not have to have experience or tools to volunteer. CAP provides needed safety equipment, tools, and teach groups how to use tools and perform needed repairs.
“The experience of giving of yourself and your time to help others is one of the most rewarding things one could do with their time,” Barry said. “The staff at CAP do an excellent job of making sure each team that comes to serve has everything they need to get a lot accomplished while they are there.”
CAP welcomes churches seeking domestic mission trips, businesses looking for team building opportunities, social clubs wanting to give back, and even groups of friends searching for a meaningful way to connect on vacation. Whether you are a group of five or 20, your service trip can make homes safe, warm, dry, and accessible for our participants. Service trips with CAP make for impactful experiences.
