Our Middle School and High School Youth attend summer Mission Trips, where they learn to serve Christ by serving their neighbors.  This is done by repairing and upgrading homes, while growing spiritually and getting to know and caring for the neighbors they are serving.

Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts meet at Effort Church.  We have been the sponsoring Church for Troop 99 for the past 21 years and for Pack 99 for the past 28 years!  We also have a number of Girl Scout Troops that meet here as well.  Every year we recognize our Scouts on Scout Sunday in February.

Effort Church also supports a number of Community Organizations through our Joyful Noise Offerings, such as:

*Breast Friends of PA

*Bridges out of Poverty

*Campus Ministries (CRU)

*Family Promise

*Garden of Giving

*Pleasant Valley Ecumenical Network

*Pocono Area Transitional Housing (PATH)

*Pocono Plateau Camp & Retreat Center

*Pocono Pregnancy Crisis Center

*Re-Entry Program of Monroe County

*Valor

*Voice of the Martyrs
