WoodsWork began in 1985, when a small group of Woods’ Confirmands and adults completed rehab on a local church. Since then, every aspect of the trip has grown—number of people, amount of construction and breadth of religious programs. The youth are dedicated and hard-working and have given their summer vacation to build houses for people in need. WoodsWork takes place within 700 miles of Woods Church and is planned by a group of high school students. WoodsWork is a Mission Trip and Christ is at the center of our mission.

Our outward mission→ to serve the community and give hope to those we meet and those we help.

Our inward Mission→ to house and maintain ourselves throughout the trip, live together for a week as a community of faith and build lasting relationships with each other, and our God.
