Mission summary
Saturday June 3, 2023 The Cherokee Baptist Association CARPENTERS FOR CHRIST traveled to Woodland, Mississippi to dry-in an 8500 sq. ft. church building for the fellowship of believers at Upper Prairie Creek Missionary Baptist Church near the community of Woodland Mississippi. Built on a concrete slab, the building consisted of a sanctuary with stage, a wing for classrooms, and a wing for a fellowship hall with kitchen. Offices and foyer with bathrooms were located in the front of the building. The all wood structure comprised a completely new church for the fellowship.
Volunteers from 7 states met on site to construct the building. The building was completely dried in and ready for roofing when the carpenters left for home on Saturday June 10. Support for the mission came from the Career and Tech center located at 3413 E. Church Hill Rd, West Point, Mississippi 39773. Lodging, meals, and showering were at this location. A special thank you is extended to the administration of the Tech Center for their hospitality which adequately housed more than 50 volunteers. Thank you UNA Missionary Baptist Church (June 2019 mission) for the Friday noon meal and visit by Brother Culpepper the pastor. Thank you to the kitchen crew for another week of wonderful meals.
