It all started in 1976 when Catawba County native Udean Burke was Minister of Music at Merrimon Avenue Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina. He and his wife Nancy were celebrating their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary with their dream trip to Hawaii. After talking to friends from church they got a group of sixty-seven people together and went on that dream vacation.
After a nice organized tour to Hawaii Nancy and Udean talked about planning a motorcoach tour…and they did just that. Their neighbor just happened to be a driver for Trailways. They chartered a motorcoach from Trailways driven by their neighbor and toured the Amish Country of Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., and Williamsburg, Virginia. With a group of thirty-nine people they had a successfully organized tour. After this tour people started talking about what a great trip they had and suggested other place to take tours. With these ideas they mailed out a small brochure promoting several other upcoming tours. With more and more people finding out about Nancy and Udean’s Christian Tours, a new business was now formed. By 1977 their daughter Mellonee, now owner of the company became the secretary, making reservations and handling many office tasks. Nancy, Udean and their son Tim were the tour directors/escorts on each of the tours. Continuing to charter motorcoaches from local companies Christian Tours began to offer a more variety of fully escorted vacations.
1982 was a big year for the Burke family! Making a decision to move back to Catawba County and the purchase of the first vehicle in the fleet was made, a brand-new Prevost motorcoach.
