ARM's mission is discovering, developing and deploying servant leaders who as disciples of Jesus, create sustainable homes, strengthen families, and build community partnerships. We envision homes being restored, relationships being reconciled, and all of us cultivating a passion to serve. In two Alabama locations and a Florida location (Hurricane Michael Recovery) ARM partners with communities coordinating volunteers groups that learn servant leadership principles. These are implemented by repairing homes alongside homeowners. In the summer, ARM hosts SonShine Kids Day Camp in our two locations. Kids from the community are able to come all summer long and it is much like a Vacation Bible School. Our office is in Opelika/Auburn Alabama with field offices in Tuskegee and Livingston. Show less
