Hinton Appalachian Mission Trip
Join a mission team that completes small construction projects for impoverished families through the UMC Hinton Rural Life Center in Hayesville, NC. This is the only domestic, out-of-state family mission trip sponsored by Woodlake UMC. It is an ideal trip for parents to serve with their children in mission. Children under age 12 must have a parent attend, and children must be old enough to perform small construction tasks for 6 to 8 hours per day with limited supervision. Cost is $425 per person and includes room and board. Space is limited to 15.

Hurricane Relief Team Mission Trip
A mission team is forming to serve in western North Carolina collaborating with Reveille UMC to provide disaster relief from last year’s devastating hurricane. Target dates of the trip are June 1-7, 2025. At present, we are unsure of type of work we will do but as time nears, we will know more. Estimate of trip cost roughly $300-$400/ missionary. It is an UMVIM sponsored trip. Limited space. We anticipate future trips to Western North Carolina to continue to serve this area.
