What is Mission Athens?
Mission Athens is a team of Christians working together to share the love of Jesus and serve the world. We are supported by the Dollar Club, members of Central Church of Christ in Athens, AL, and fellow Christians from several other churches. Our purpose is to serve those in our community who are most in need. Our work includes helping the homeless, serving underprivileged children, supporting the elderly, and loving those who are lost in our community. Please join us in “being the church” in our town.
Our mission is our community. Our beliefs are best demonstrated by helping those living without basic necessities with their physical needs. Mission Athens is operated by volunteers and all donations are used to help those in our immediate community who are most in need.
