In 2026, SECC will send a team of up to 30 individuals to serve in Eastern Tennessee. This trip is designed specifically for those who have an interest in serving with SECC disaster relief efforts. Over the course of the trip, the team will step into communities impacted by crisis—providing hands-on support through construction, debris cleanup, and community care. The need in Appalachia remains great, and this mission will give volunteers the opportunity to put their faith into action as they bring hope, relief, and the love of Christ to families walking through some of their hardest days.
