Welcome to the Mission House

"Where Word and action meet"

Welcome to the Mission House Website, we hope that you will enjoy looking through our website.

Created in 2005 the project brings volunteers from throughout Europe together under the same roof to share in the community of voluntary work and personal discovery.

All work and no play makes for a very unhappy volunteer and that’s why the Mission House project isn’t all about work but how the volunteer can grow in his/her faith, social awareness & social life.

The Project is diverse, exciting and enriching.

The volunteer year is at the moment finished so most of the house have left to reunite with their families although there are still a few around. After the summer, 1st September 2010 a new group of volunteers will walk though the doors to make the 6th Mission House team.

During the first weekend of July the Mission House celebrated its 5th year anniversary in style with a reunion weekend. 3/4 of the volunteers returned to celebrate, share their stories, jokes, photos and memories while learning where the Mission House had been and is now heading. On Saturday and Sunday projects and friends of the house came to celebrate with a BBQ and a service in the youth attic. Interested in seeing the pictures from this weekend? Please click here.
