Inquire about the trip

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. What these communities need most is hope - join us in supporting the people of Appalachia in their journey towards a brighter tomorrow.

Community Engagement Opportunities in Morgantown, WV!

Your mission team will have a variety of ways to serve the Morgantown community and surrounding areas. From meeting practical needs to building relationships, your efforts will make a lasting impact on individuals and ministries throughout the city.


Elderly Ministry

You may have the chance to engage in ministry with elderly residents, whether through home visits, simple home projects, or spending time in senior communities. Activities may include conversation, games, songs, or offering companionship to those who may feel isolated.


Kids Ministry

There are opportunities to support children's programs, including assisting with kids' events, potential sidewalk VBS-style activities, or helping with childcare and mentoring. Your presence will bring energy and joy to local children in need of encouragement and connection. .


Light Construction & Hands-On Projects

Several partners in the area are in need of teams to help with light construction, repairs, and general upkeep. This could include working on homes, ministry buildings, or community centers. Your team’s willingness to work with your hands will be a huge blessing.


Food Pantry Distribution

Help prepare and distribute food to individuals and families facing food insecurity. This might involve sorting food, packing boxes, or assisting during pantry hours as guests come to receive what they need.


Clothing & Thrift Store Ministry

You may be asked to serve in donation centers or thrift stores by sorting clothing, organizing shelves, cleaning, and helping customers. These environments are also great places to build relationships with both staff and the community.


Blessing Bags & Community Outreach

Some organizations are assembling and distributing “blessing bags” filled with essential hygiene items and snacks for those in need. Your team could assist in preparing these bags and even be part of outreach efforts to deliver them to local shelters or public service departments.


Prayer & Staff Support

There are opportunities to serve behind the scenes by supporting ministry staff through prayer and practical service. This could include helping clean up after community meals or simply offering encouragement to those who serve full-time.


Support for New Moms & Infants

Your team may be able to assist with projects that benefit new mothers and babies, such as making knot blankets or assembling baby care packages. These gifts provide both comfort and support to families in vulnerable situations.


Warehouse & Distribution Support

Help is often needed in warehouse settings to organize donations, pack food boxes, and prepare supplies for outreach efforts. This is a great way for teams to serve together and see the tangible results of their work..

Training debriefing
Once you commit and get connected with your mission coordinator, they will walk you through Pre-Trip Training WHY DO WE GO ON MISSION TRIPS? To learn how to reach people for Jesus! We practice what we learn while preparing and being on the mission trip. We then continue to do these things back home, to reach people there. Jesus wants people to spend eternity with Him. We get to participate in that. This trip will train and transform you. Time spent at the feet of Jesus results in ministry. True ministry comes from the overflow of time spent with Jesus and the leading of the Holy Spirit. It’s vital that we spend time in the presence of God! Adventures in Missions 5 Objectives: 1) Listening in Prayer You will have the opportunity to hear and discern God’s voice through prayer and scripture, and then obey the direction God gave! Everyone will have opportunity to be sensitive to the Spirit’s specific leading in personal ministry during the trip. John 10:27 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” 2) Make a Meaningful Relationship Led by the Holy Spirit, you will be able to build a meaningful relationship through ministry with your host, teammates, and locals within the community. Seeking out that person each day, will demonstrate the love of Jesus. John 15:12-15 “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.” 3) Meet a Felt Need You will be able to respond to God’s specific direction to meet a local person’s practical need! This could be prayer, making a meal, giving out a hygiene kit, or perhaps a very specific answer to a prompting by the Holy Spirit during a prayer walk, for example. Matthew 25:40 “The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'” 4) Share Your Faith You will share the Good News, which is more than a Gospel presentation, or rehearsed testimony, it’s your life! You will listen in prayer to know whom to share with, what to share, and how to share it. This could include a formal Gospel presentation or personal testimony. Luke 4:18-19 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” 5) Debrief & Respond Assisted by the Mission Leader, you will learn to identify and share (debrief) what God has done each day. Everyone will have the opportunity to respond to God in gratitude, praise, and worship. At the end of the trip, you will have a final debrief to highlight key takeaways from your trip! Hebrews 10:24-25 “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
