There is no cost to participate; lodging and meals are also provided during service dates.

Family Service Weeks and Weekends focus on general projects that can be completed safely by larger groups and require minimal tools or specialized skills.

These projects help support our ongoing daily work, while our primary focus remains on spiritual growth through morning devotions, noon prayer, and an evening session.

The work itself is not the primary focus; rather, it is an opportunity to gather together with fellow believers in service.

Families will be housed in our two-story dormitories. Linens and towels are provided. If you want to use your personal camper, that can be arranged, too.

Service Weeks
Lodging is provided for a Monday check-in (after 3:00 PM) and a Saturday check-out (by 12 noon).  Meals include Monday dinner,  Tuesday–Friday breakfast/lunch/dinner, and Saturday brunch.

Service Weekend
Lodging is provided for a Thursday check-in (after 3:00 PM) and a Sunday check-out (by 11:00 AM). Meals include Thursday dinner, Friday breakfast/lunch/dinner, and end with Saturday brunch/dinner. Sunday breakfast is not provided.

We will confirm your lodging and meal reservations after your application is approved.

Yes! Regular meal/lodging rates apply.

Please call us at 903-636-9201 to check availability and pricing. 

We hope your entire family is able to join us, regardless of their age and capabilities! As children need to take naps or would prefer to play nearby, please feel free to step away as needed or appoint a family member to watch over them. Some tasks will be available for mothers and older siblings caring for younger children such as helping with laundry, weeding or other outdoor work, light cleaning, and possibly painting. The playground in the campground will be available for families to utilize during the week. We are unable to provide childcare, and we kindly ask parents/family members to supervise their children at all times.

No, we’re sorry! We have a strict no-pet policy. Service animals are welcome with prior registration and documentation.

Please use your judgment and bring clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty, stained, or painted.

Our dress code requires loose-fitting clothing that covers the full torso and thighs, even when active/working. No sleeveless tops, spandex, or other fitted clothing.

Helpful items may include toys for the little ones, water bottles, and comfy work shoes. Tools & project equipment are provided.

Laundry facilities are available on-site, if that’s helpful. It costs $3 to wash and dry one load of clothes ($1.50 to wash and $1.50 to dry).
