We believe Christ’s love must be expressed in action to people in need. ARM is a hands on ministry, responding to people through Christian love with an emphasis in housing

repair and children’s ministry.

Alabama Rural Ministry coordinates home repair efforts and children’s day camps in rural parts of Alabama. We

are interdenominational, but are connected to the United Methodist

Church. All denominations are welcome to come and serve!

“For the service that you give is not only supplying the needs of everyone but is an expression

of many thanks to God.” 2 Corinthians 9:11-12 P.

sharing the gospel through home repair and children’s ministry mainly in Sumter

and Macon County.

ARM looks for church youth groups, college groups, adults, intergenerational groups and local volunteers. ARM hopes that your team will not only experience the joys of helping a family with repairs or teaching children

Bible stories, but that your team will gain an understanding of Christ’s call to serve. Your

group will enjoy an experience that allows you to engage the community and gives you a dose

of southern and Christian hospitality.

ARM wants to provide you with a mission experience that allows your team to develop personal relationships, challenges and builds

upon their relationship with Christ, and meets physical, spiritual, and emotional needs.

In Deuteronomy, God said, “There should be no poor in the land.” In Acts we read where the

early church formed such a bond that “there was no poverty among them.” It is God’s desire that

everyone has their needs supplied, and it is up to us, the body of Christ, to see that through.

Located at the western end of the Black Belt region of Alabama, Sumter County is where

ARM started. Due to lack of industry in this area, this county is one of the 100

poorest counties in the United States.

Macon County is home to historical Tuskegee University, The George

Washington Carver Museum and Tuskegee Airmen. This county is one of the poorest in Alabama. With 33% of the population below poverty, and ARM serves Macon County through home repair ministry.
