Red Bird Mission- Kentucky

Redbird Mission<\/p><\/div>\n

The Red Bird Mission is located in the Appalachia hills of southeast Kentucky.\u00a0 It is an area populated by some of the poorest people in the country, and it is served…..<\/span><\/p>\n

The Red Bird mission is actually an official “mission conference” of the United Methodist Church. <\/span><\/p>\n

In August of 2013, our church sent a missions team to Red Bird to repair the floor of an elderly couple’s home.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the regional mission projects that we support with our prayers and benevolent giving is the Red Bird Missionary Conference. “A witness for Christ in the Heart of Appalachia”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Red Bird Conference Center is located in Queendale, Kentucky. Geographically, they serve in parts of ten counties in southeastern Kentucky, a radius of approximately 90 miles over mountainous terrain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even broader than the territory is the diversity of ministries involved as they seek to minister to the needs of the whole person; spiritual, physical, educational, and economic. The total work of the Red Bird Missionary Conference includes: twenty seven churches and outreach centers, four agencies, a conference camp, and a pastors school. All entities are engaged in both evangelism and service; and work together in mission. The churches provide worship and spiritual nurture; and also reach out to the physical needs of their communities. Agencies provide basic human services; and do so in the name of Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n

Red Bird Mission’s Community Outreach Ministries provide vital services to those in need.<\/span><\/p>\n
