Mission Teams

We have hosted thousands of teenagers and outreach groups and continue to serve as a home base for local mission teams to serve the Appalachian community.

Sonshine Children's Center

Our founder, Mary Bennett, adopted and fostered hundreds of abused and neglected children. Many of these children would have fallen through the cracks of society had she not opened her arms and obeyed the Lord. The Sonshine Children’s Center has been a cornerstone to this Appalachian community and continues to partner with local authorities as they advocate for children in need.
