The Mission of Warriors at Home is dedicated to preventing and eliminating veteran suicide.
Warriors at Home helps our nation's veterans lead healthy and happy lives by providing Emotional Support, Fitness, and Adventure!
The organization was founded by Ken Doyle, who was Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) technician in the U.S. Army for five years. He is medically retired for injuries he received in combat, which included the loss of an arm. After leaving the military, he and his wife moved to McDowell County. Not long afterwards, he started Warriors at Home.
Ken is available to share the mission of Warriors at Home with your church. He can be reached at: ken.doyle@warriorsathome.org.
Pastoral Changes Rev. Josh Hayes resigned from Pleasant Gardens Baptist Church. Dr. Terry Cheek resigned from Calvary Baptist Church. We wish the best for both of them in their future endeavors.

We have our bunkhouses to stay in which provide the bed/mattress, two bathrooms, two showers and two sinks each. 5.
