The mission of the Coalition for Appalacian Ministry is to make a positive impact wherever Reformed tradition and Appalacian culture come together, by networking with church and community, to provide educational and service opportunities.
We afirm with hope, joy and trust that Appalachia belongs to the loving GOD whom we know in Christ. His presence is made visible through those local and regional communities of faith when they. . .
- stand with those pushed to the margins of society
- assist people as they develop economic independence
- care for creation
CAM connects
- Local stories with a global audience
- Oral tradition with internet technology
- Local faces with national issues
- Dignity with justice and hopelessness with vision
- Indigenous human needs with savvy advocates in the center of power
- Experience and information with God’s passion for people
- The faces of humanity with Christ’s command to be servants
- Volunteers with mission service projects and first hand experiences
- Service projects with willing hands and skilled labor
- Home-based crafters with a regional fair-market outlet
- Five Reformed denominations and dozens of regional judicatories with opportunities for common mission
- Hundreds of congregations and ministries across thirteen states with a common cause
- Denominational funding programs with local project support and evaluation
- Church pastors with the culture, history and social structures of Appalachia
