ACTIVITIES AND INFO ABOUT US:
The Brotherhood is group of men and youth, volunteers committed to come together in the name of the Lord, to help people in their times of need. Help may be offered to those who are less fortunate, and do not have the resources, financial or otherwise, to meet a particular need, or are unable, due to health and age limitations to meet their need.
The Brotherhood was formed in 2000 and has been involved in a number of Mission Activities outside the immediate area to include, but not limited to, Disaster Relief Training, Mud Outs/Emergency Repairs, Chainsaw Operations, Tree Removal, and Recovery Trailers. Major projects have taken us to Eastern North Carolina (3) for Disaster Relief/Mud Outs; West Virginia (4) for Disaster Relief/Mud Outs/Emergency repairs/Medical Clinic; and Montana (2) to the Blackfoot Reservation for Vacation Bible School/Parsonage Construction/Medical Clinic and to Meridian, Mississippi, to assist with Hurricane Katrina clean up.
Local Mission projects have included house roofing, construction of room additions, remodeling, handicap ramps and deck construction, and plumbing and electrical repairs, in addition to something as simple as painting, cutting a lawn for someone who cannot and landscaping the church property.
We learn about the needs of others by referrals from Ashe County organizations, other churches, our church members and friends within the community. When a project is submitted for consideration, a Brotherhood Team previews the need, gathers information relative to the need, and the projected costs involved, and then shares the information with the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood votes whether to pursue the project based on need, size and scope of project, skills needed that the members offer and the personnel available. We will not accept a project we do not believe we cannot handle or complete in a timely manner.
If you have a project, or need you would like the Brotherhood to consider please contact the church office at 877-1550.
God's word is an important part of the Brotherhood meetings and a portion of each meeting is dedicated to devotional time. We encourage you to come join us at one of our Wednesday evening meetings and enjoy the fun and fellowship of Christian men.
