Big Creek Missions is an inter-denominational Christian ministry center and is  recognized by the IRS as a 501c3 non-profit organization.  Our humble beginnings can be attributed to the leadership and encouragement of the Chilhowee Baptist Association and Mission of Hope.  We are a partnership of multiple organizations, individuals, and dozens of churches seeking to glorify Christ in Appalachia and in the hearts of believers.

Our Leadership
Big Creek Missions is led by a five member board of directors.   The board of directors is responsible for overseeing the major workings of the ministry and providing accountability and assistance to the director. 

The daily operations of Big Creek Missions are supervised by Kevin Rogers, founder and director.  He previously served as a student pastor for 13 years. 

Our Funding
Big Creek Missions is primarily supported by the donations it receives from volunteers who stay and serve at our mission center.  Our summer missions program covers most of our operational expenses.   We do not receive any regular funding from any church, ministry, association, or individual.   Although we do receive a few grants, our volunteers and their gifts are the backbone of this ministry.  

Our Future
Big Creek Missions does not have an extravagant mission statement, purpose statement, or philosophy of ministry.  Our mission, purpose, and philosophy of ministry is very simple.  We are about CHRIST!  As we follow Him daily, and are obedient to his calling and direction daily, He will direct and guide our paths.  

With Christ as our focus, our short-term goals are:
    - providing assistance to local residents as resources and volunteers permit
    - expanding our volunteer base to assist more residents and ministries
    - expanding the types and availability of ministries. 
    - finalizing purchase of this facility for long-term ministry
        (we have a 5-year lease-to-own agreement. Our desire is to pay cash for the facility -                  $350,000 - by the end of that 5 year agreement.) 

With Christ as our focus, our long-term goals are:
    - duplicating this type of self-supporting  ministry in other areas of Appalachia.
    - turning over the daily operations of the Big Creek Mission center to the community, as a             self-supporting hub for ministry.
