Henderson Settlement is one of four mission institutions of the Red Bird Missionary Conference. Their mission is to spread the good news of Jesus Christ through service to the community by meeting basic needs in Appalachia.
In 1925, Methodist minister Hiram Frakes came to the Laurel Fork Valley in Southeastern Kentucky with a dream of educational, economic and spiritual reform for the community.
Local families donated 123 acres of land and Frakes started a school for the area children. That was the beginning of Henderson Settlement. Today it consists of 1,600 acres and provides multiple programs and activities for the community.
