U.S. Missions
U.S. Mission Trips
Each year, our Middle School and Senior High Youth have travelled to locations in the United States on mission trips. In 2009 they went to urban mission camps in Mobile, AL and Bayou la Batie, AL. This year our Sr. High youth traveled to Belize.
The Morgan Scott County Project exists to identify specific needs and initiate programs to help the poor, elderly, and disabled in this rural part of Appalachia. Morgan Scott is also involved in providing food, clothing, and other necessities, especially in emergencies. The focus of the Morgan Scott Project is not simply to give handouts, but to help area residents establish a better life for themselves. Area residents can see the love and compassion of Christ in action through this mission.

The purpose of CAM, is to make a positive impact wherever the Reformed tradition and Appalachian culture come together. It does this by networking with church and community to provide education and volunteer opportunities.
