A predominate part of our AMOS summer program is the Home Repair Ministry. During a ten week period, teams travel to East Tennessee to serve families living in substandard conditions. Nearly 80% of the teams and churches that come to serve return year after year. The Home Repair Ministry serves Cocke, Grainger, Hamblen and Jefferson Counties. Our Home Repair program focuses on exterior needs of homes that are in need of handicap accessible ramps, decking, roofing, and painting. We partner with churches throughout the United States who provide labor and skills needed to complete projects. Selected projects are normally completed in June and July.
Individuals, churches or other organizations interested in serving through our Home Repair Ministry, please click the "volunteer" or "contact us" links below. We will get back to you to go over our program and to answer any questions you may have. Groups desiring to register a team must complete team registration and liability form; links below.
