Volunteers painting

Hinton, a mission agency of the United Methodist Church, creates opportunities for workteams from all over the country to experience the rich mountain culture found here, to serve with others in repairing or building new homes with families, and to grow in their understanding of faith in action.

The work includes repairing porches, painting homes, fixing leaky roofs, building ramps, replacing rotten floors, and other similar home repairs that greatly improving living conditions. In doing this good work, teams build relationships with the family/agency and developing Christian community. Come enjoy the fellowship!

Those who come to serve will stay in the guest rooms of the Hinton lodge or in one of the cottages, share meals together in the dining room, and utilize any and all of the meeting facilities. Hinton also offers a chapel, an outside porch and deck area with rocking chairs, lakeside recreation (including swimming, picnic, and campfire areas), basketball and volleyball courts, and a vegetable garden.
