City Road Chapel UMC teens celebrate 30 years of mission work

This year marks the 30th anniversary for City Road Chapel United Methodist Church’s Youth Group to be involved with mission work through an organization called Mountain T.O.P.

Mountain T.O.P. (Tennessee Outreach Project) is an interdenominational Christian mission, affiliated with the Tennessee Conference of the United Methodist Church, dedicated to rural life ministry in the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee.

Each year City Road youth and several adult leaders have dedicated a week every summer to help build porches, paint homes, repair roofs, and other home improvement jobs for the people in the Cumberland Mountains.

“Our youth love Mountain T.O.P.! When teenagers decide to give up a week of their summer vacation to do mission work, then you know it has to be something very special.” said Kathy Boland, Youth Director at City Road.

“It is the best religious mission trip that I have ever been on! There is a wonderful Christian atmosphere at Mountain T.O.P., and we have great fellowship with other teens.” said Seth Dobyns, recent graduate of MLK Magnet School and three time participant of Mountain T.O.P.
City Road will be attending Mountain T.O.P. from June 25-July 1, and will be taking a group of 30 on their 30th anniversary.
