ASP 2025 – Greenfield Hill Congregational Church

June 28 to July 5, 2025

What’s ASP?

Since 1978, the Senior Pilgrim Fellowship (SPF) of Greenfield Hill Church has participated each summer with the Appalachia Service Project, Inc., a home-repair mission organization based in Central Appalachia, and designed especially for high school youth. ASP is a Christian ministry open to all participants, encouraging teens to understand their home repair work as “faith in action.” Youth work full days, doing physical labor for families in need: it is a hard, but deeply rewarding experience.

Applications for youth participation were accepted only until Nov. 7. Please contact Rev. Alida Ward to find out about being added to the wait list. (award@greenfieldhillchurch.com)

Cost: The total trip cost per youth participant is $750 ($725 if paid with check or ACH). A deposit of $175 will be required with the application, with the remaining balance of $575 due on May 1, 2025.

Requirements: ASP is the culminating experience of our year together at youth group; Appalachia trip participants are expected to be regular participants at SPF meetings. In addition, participation in the four orientation meetings, the Dogwood Festival fundraiser, and another fundraiser TBA.
