CHURCH MISSION PROGRAM:

Jeters Chapel places a strong emphasis on world missions. For the past several years over 60 % of the church budget goes to outreach mission projects. Some of the more local projects have involved supporting R.A.M. House. This has been mainly through the contribution of food and money to support their feeding program. We continue to support "Heifer Project International", primarily with their Appalachian ministries. Support is also given to "World Changers" which is an educational sponsorship for "Native Americans" in the western U.S.

Our International mission program includes direct support for missionary families working in South America, & Africa. Dale Fogg and his wife Beverly are doing an aviation ministry in Paraguay. Dale is using a single engine plane to carry the gospel to remote villages in the interior where people have had little or no exposure to the Word of the Lord.

In South Africa we support Roger and Mary Gorman in their ministry at Cape Town Bible College. The Gormans are training South Africans for ministry to their own towns and villages. We are also working with them in a Bible distribution program. In the past few years we have supplied thousands of Bibles to that part of the world. The Gormans E-Mail address is 103114.2251@compuserve.com

Another African ministry that is supported by Jeters Chapel is the Garkida Leper Colony in Northern Nigeria. We have assisted in rebuilding the operating room, helped to secure a new clean water system and have provided bandages and other medical supplies.

All of the above listed mission projects continue to be supported by the Church.

HISTORY OF JETERS CHAPEL

The Brethren began to worship on Jeters Chapel Mountain near the end of the Civil War but the church was not officially organized until 1875. The new meeting house was a union church but the other three churches later moved to other locations leaving the Brethren with the Jeters Chapel meeting house.

In it's early development, Jeters Chapel was served by ministers that rode horse back for many miles to bring the Gospel to the people of the mountain. Today the church is served by a bi-vocational ministry with boundless support from the many key lay-people that make up this congregation.
