Reverend J. J. DeWall established a Mission in the Red Bird Mountains. He built several churches and mission homes in the area for people to live in. In 1922, Myra Bowman and Emeline Walsh moved to the mission and started Red Bird Christian School after learning that there were a lot of students in the mountains who didn’t have access to education. Then, in 1928, Red Bird clinic was built after Dr. Harlan Heim and Miss Lydia Rice, R. N. had been treating patients at the mission over the years.
Red Bird Christian School and the Red Bird Dormitories burnt to the ground on the Beverly campus.
Red Bird Mission and Christian School recently fought through the Covid-19 pandemic. As of 2021, all services are back up and running at Red Bird. The school is blazing a new path forward in the mountains, looking to bring the S.T.E.A.M. Program to students who may not know all of their options after high school. We are developing Christ centered leaders in the Cumberland Valley and beyond.

I don’t have enough words to express how grateful I am to the Red Bird mission program. They received me in when I needed it the most financially but most importantly, spiritually. At the age of 12 I moved here and I can’t believe how much God has worked in my life since those days. To the faculty and staff, dorm parents, roomates and missionaries I just want to let you know that you have been a light unto my world and have shown me what what the love of God feels like. I just want to let you all know that the work that is been done in this place is good and God is proud of what has been done in his name. Now I’m 20 and even though I’m still a mess I am now God’s mess and he us working in me and I know that my 12 year old is now grateful that he was sent to this place.
I love you all and hope I come back soon.
