Short term missions:

After much prayer and consideration, we will not be sending a medical and middle school family trip to Haiti at this time. We will continue to monitor the situation and gauge interest for future trips.  We are partnering with Every Eye Will See Him Ministries to help meet the needs of the Haitians and share Jesus.

June 28-July 6:  After much prayer and consideration, we will not be sending a High School trip to Haiti this summer. We will continue to pray over Haiti and our friends at See Him Ministries.
In place of the Haiti mission trip this year we are looking at three options for a domestic mission trip during that same week, June 28-July 6. We believe this will still be a meaningful trip where we can deepen relational connections and community, within our groups, and with those we meet. More details to come, we hope to have more information this Sunday at the Summer Informational Parent Meeting following 2nd worship in the Creek. 

July 5-13:  Haiti College & Young Professional Mission Trip:  This trip is for college & young professionals to build relationships with the children in the community surrounding the Every Eye Will See Him Ministries through a daily sports camp and Bible lessons.  Trip Information  and Registration
