Adult Mission Ministry (AMM)
Who We Are & What We Do
We are a unique ministry of St. Ann adults dedicated to being Jesus’ hands and feet by serving the elderly and poor in North Georgia. Through home repairs and companionship, we bring Christ’s love to those in need. Our work includes two annual 4-day mission trips to Rabun County and local one-day projects throughout the year. No skills are required—just a heart for service and a willingness to show others they are valued and loved.
Why We Exist
Inspired by the words of Terese of Avila, we are called to be the ‘Hands and Feet of Christ ‘. Our ministry serves as a living example of faith in action. We work to ensure that everyone has a safe, dignified place to call home, knowing that through service, we not only transform their houses but also hearts. Our work is a powerful witness to the Gospel, bringing hope to those who feel abandoned and strengthening the bonds of our faith community
Who We Serve
We assist elderly individuals, disabled persons, low-income families, and others who need home repairs but lack the resources to complete them. Many of those we serve have spent years struggling with minor but burdensome repairs. For those whose homes seem to be collapsing around them, our ministry is an answered prayer. Each project is an opportunity to connect, uplift, and bring comfort to those you serve—one repaired home at a time.

Special Requirements
There are no skill requirements, and we guarantee you will leave with more skills than you brought to the mission.
