Mission Statement: Helping Hands Mission Camp is a Christ centered, youth focused, multi- denominational community service mission to help the citizens of Gloucester County, Virginia who need home repairs.
History: Helping Hands Mission Camp was formed in 2005 by 3 friends (Terry Stacey, Randy Stacey and David Loase) from 2 churches (Susanna Wesley UMC and Gloucester Church of the Nazarene) in the aftermath of Hurricane Isabel. Our desire was and continues to be to help citizens of Gloucester County, Virginia, who need home repairs.
We welcome all Christian denominations and we are dedicated to serving as part of the body of Christ. We serve Christ and Christ alone by minimizing denominational differences and celebrating our common belief … that Jesus Christ is our risen Lord and Savior.
Our philosophy is unapologetically Christian and we seek to show the world how awesome youth are by showing those we help a measure of the grace God has bestowed on us.
