TEAM Center

War, West Virginia

 

Located in the southern part of West Virginia is the small town of War, population 987.  War is the southern-most city in West Virginia and in it's heyday was a booming coalmining community.  Today the city and the county face high unemployment and poverty. 

 

In 1999, Debbie King, a preschool teacher in McDowell County and a member of Calvary Baptist Church, felt a deep burden to help the children and youth. She started the TEAM Center.  TEAM stand for "Together Everyone Accomplishes More." 

 

Through the TEAM Center she helps children and youth to find a place where they are loved, respected and can hear the gospel.

 

In 2002, recognizing the growing substance problem, Debbie helped start a task force to help the children and youth to understand the dangers of drugs and alcohol and to stay drug free.  At the TEAM Center Christian Counseling is offered.

 

Following the 2001 floods in McDowell County, Debbie worked with the local agencies and mission teams to assist in home repair projects.
