About Our Ministries

Over 40 Years Serving Appalachia In 1969, Glen “Tex” Evans founded the Appalachia Service Project in response to

the desperate poverty he witnessed while traveling in the hills of central Appalachia. Evans, a United Methodist minister and former missionary, established ASP’s first center at Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. In the first year of ASP’s existence, volunteers repaired just four homes using whatever supplies they could scavenge.

Tex Evans had a vision of a ministry that served a dual purpose: to empower the youth of America to live their lives in service to others and to transform the lives of Appalachia’s poorest families by offering them home repair. Today, more than forty years later, more than 17,000 volunteers repair approximately 500 homes in Appalachia each year.

ASP has played a vital role in the youth ministry of Metropolitan Memorial since the project’s inception in 1969. This year marks our 43rd year serving ASP. It is a vital part of our youth ministry as they participate in God’s work in Appalachia.

The money raised during this auction will send five crews of youth to Wise County, Virginia for a life-changing experience. Our dates for serving in mission with ASP are July 15th-22nd. We are excited to build upon our four decades of work with ASP.

Youth 4 DC

Our middle-school-aged youth have a great opportunity to do service right here in Washington, DC. This is our sixth year doing Youth 4 DC, and we invite all youth from rising sixth graders to rising high school freshmen to participate in serving mission projects throughout our city. These projects have been focused on the environment, food security, animal welfare, racial reconciliation, and other issues. We are holding our camp this year the week of July 23rd – 28th. If you would like to participate or if you have any questions, contact Patrick Landau at plandau@nationalchurch.org.

Milne poem while you do it!); wonder at the beauty of St. Paul’s Cathedral (you can sit in the same spot as the Bird Woman in Mary Poppins!); track down Sherlock Holmes at 221B Baker Street (it’s actually a bank now, but there’s a fun museum inside); and did I mention the Wesley Chapel?
