Imagine communities of people engaged in Christ-like acts of compassion, tangibly loving their neighbors through home repairs!
Alabama Rural Ministry (ARM) creates opportunities to serve like Jesus through home repair. In East Alabama, college students, youth, and churches serve on Saturdays throughout the year. Youth groups and college groups can serve in the summer or during semester breaks. Adult teams are also welcome year-round. You serve alongside an awesome neighbor restoring their home to warm, safe, and dry. Learn how you can be part of a neighbor’s restoration story through home repair and community revitalization.
Bring A Team
Bring a team for Summer 2026
So you are a youth director or mission leader. We know…it can be daunting and overwhelming to set up a mission team. For over 28 years, we’ve been hosting youth mission teams just like you!
We’d be honored and excited to help you prepare for an engaging mission experience that equips your student ministry to live missionally while serving. After a week getting to know a family and helping make a home warm, safe, and dry, we hope you all will continue to serve back home.
Summer Mission teams have options for home repair and or day camp. Check out the details for home repair and day camp below!
Saturday and One-Day Serve Days

Not just the summer! Saturdays are meant for serving and high impact! Throughout the semester, ARM serves on various Saturdays near Auburn and Tuskegee. These are planned either through ARM’s student group, ARM@AU, or visiting church groups. Holidays are also good opportunities for a day of home repair. If you would like to plug into an existing Saturday or set up your own day of repair, please email us or call us.
What’s the Need?
Why does Home repair matter?
Every day, families like Ms. Gloria struggle. Their homes are cold, leaking, and unsafe. Repairs can cost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. On tiny incomes, it seems hopeless. Ms. Gloria just makes do. Hope is gone, and despair can set in. She wonders if anyone cares. Where is God?
Repairing and restoring a home with ARM is more than just the physical work. We focus on building relationships with our neighbors. Mission volunteers are taught how be in prayer and share their story as they listen and learn with their neighbor. Long after the repairs are completed, the memories of compassion and community remain.
We hope you will consider serving with us and then taking your mission back home!
