Ethiopia Mission Trip

We’ll be working with Petros Network to train church planters to bring the Good News of Jesus to regions of East Africa that have no churches or Christians among them. These churches are often the source of not only spiritual health in these communities, but also a resource center for trauma care, business training, and other educational needs within the community. We will be getting firsthand experience working among the people of these tribes as we seek to bring the training and resources that will be most helpful their communities.

Applications are required for these trips as space is limited.

Honduras Mission Trip

Honduras Mission Trip

We’ll work with Leadership Mission International (LMI), a non-profit Christian organization, to train women in Honduras with skills to help them launch their businesses upon graduation. Women in Honduras have little to no access to education and other opportunities to build a life independent of corruption and drug trade. Through LMI, women are enrolled in a two-year program where they learn English, business and leadership skills, and are surrounded by a community centered on Jesus—all completely free!

We’ll be helping with chores on their sustainable farm, cooking, and helping teach English through conversations and hearing stories. Our trip will also utilize any special skills our team has to pass along to the women (construction, sewing, photography, technology, fitness, etc.).

The location is remote within a large national forest, with only two small dirt roads leading in and out of the vast region. The forest is one of the largest income sources to the government, so it is carefully guarded and staff and students feel well-protected and safe while learning.

Applications are required for these trips as space is limited.

Impact Week

 

Impact Week is an opportunity for us to thank local businesses and organizations for impacting our community!

The idea is simple, pick up a “Thank You” card at the Mission Forward wall in the Lobby beginning Sunday, February 20, then from the week of February 27 - March 6, choose a local business to bless by dropping off a gift along with the “Thank You” card letting them know that SLC recognizes them as a partner in the community.

Let us celebrate with you by posting a photo of what you dropped off in our SLC Family Facebook Group or email it to the church office.

Get creative! Think of businesses and organizations that have a stake in our community. This could even be your own place of work! Here are some ideas:
