For over 10 years, Christ Community Church, under the leadership of John Patton, has forged a relationship with those who live on Rattlesnake Ridge in McCreary County, KY. By working closely with Don Coffey and with Barbara & Hilton Duncan, founders of Integrated Community Ministries (ICM), we have made lasting ties with our friends there.

On the Ridge, ICM is also known as the “community center” whose mission includes a food pantry, thrift shop, learning center, and host to many other activities. It is also where we hold VBS and our Women’s Ministry during our Appalachia Family Mission Trip each June. What you may not know is that ICM owns a huge flat field with a covered pavilion and enough room to build a bunkhouse. A bunkhouse would be able to house groups of up to 30 people who are there to do missions work in the area. Also, there is enough area for Boy Scouts to camp, enjoy the Big South Fork, and complete local service projects.

Christ Community Church is spearheading the building of this bunkhouse, and we believe this endeavor will allow missions teams and ICM to go deeper in building relationships with the men, women, and children in the area - most of whom are un-churched.

To give towards the building of the bunkhouse, simply go to ICM’s website at http://www.ky-icm.org/ where you may give directly online through the “Bunkhouse Building Fund.” On their website, you may also view the plans for the bunkhouse. All donations are tax-deductible. If you prefer to give by check, make checks payable to Integrated Community Ministries and mail to:
