Powell County Christians United Against Drugs

Ministers of the Powell County Ministerial Association stand united with Christians from various Powell County churches to help and assist victims and families struggling with addictions. The first county-wide meeting was held on November 22, 2005 at the Powell County Middle School. It was attended by more than 900 people. Following this meeting, 7 task forces comprised of local ministers and Christian community volunteers have been formed in support of this effort. Additional Town Meetings to update our community on efforts underway have been held on February 18, 2006, August 12, 2006, and November 17, 2007.
