Congratulations on your decision to participate in the Summer 2026 Appalachia Service Project (ASP) Mission Trip! It will be an experience you’ll never forget as you become the hands and feet of Jesus in assisting people you’ve never met. 

What to expect on the ASP mission trip:

·     Sunday-Saturday Missions Week

·     Serving a community in the Appalachia Region with building projects that make homes warmer, safer and drier

o   When expenses grow for homeowners, the first often to go is home repairs.

o   ASP comes in to ensure that their home circumstances are as safe and comfortable as they can.

·    We work from 8:30am-4pm. From 4-6pm we shower, clean up and rest if there is time.

·    Evening programs led by ASP staff help us understand the greater cultural and historical reasons for why repairs are needed and why communities are experiencing what they are. This program focuses on the economic and environmental circumstances of the community we are serving.

Youth Volunteers must have completed 7th grade and have turned 13 years old by the trip date 6/21/2026. Parents please take note - ASP volunteers will experience 8+ hour work for five consecutive days of challenging manual labor in the heat and humidity. Please determine for yourself if your student is physically, mentally, and emotionally prepared for this task. Adult Volunteers are those aged 19+ and are at least one year removed from high school graduation. 

NEW FOR 2026: All volunteers will need to self-register on the ASP website and complete the Volunteer Trip Agreement and Medical Form digitally. If you run into difficulty with the registration process, please contact Kari Webber and we will assist in trouble shooting.
