U.M. ARMY is an acronym which stands for “United in Mission, Action Reach-out Ministry by Youth.” Its mission is “To provide Christ-centered missions that serve people in need and to promote spiritual growth and leadership in youth and young adults.” It is an opportunity for youth and adults to experience Christian growth through mission, worship, and fellowship. Young people discover the importance of loving through their actions, not just their words, during our mission weeks. Participants are able to experience the power of God’s love as they provide practical assistance to their neighbors.
Each day begins and ends with a worship service, and participants are encouraged to deepen their relationship with Christ. Each day, participants combine their strengths to meet home repair and maintenance needs for low-income, elderly, and disabled homeowners who are physically or financially unable to make needed repairs themselves. Clients are members of the local community of the host church and surrounding towns. Home repairs are done free of charge to the homeowner.
