short term missions trips

Throughout the year, SCC’s Missions Commission organizes short-term trips to visit SCC’s global mission partners and help in the work they are doing around the world. Trips are typically 1 to 2 weeks in length and vary in their goals and team members sought. Consider joining one of these teams. Your life will never be the same!

If you are sensing that God is calling you to longer-term missions, consider, are you actively involved here at SCC? If so, contact the SCC Missions Commission to discuss the possibility of medium or long-term serving trip.

Stories of Past Missions Trips

Our worldwide missionary partners

one village transformed project

“Five years ago World Concern asked Snohomish Community Church and Alderwood Community Church to partner with them to bring Christ’s love to one of the newest, but poorest nations of the world. Just one village, Mayen. The goal was to help them get clean water, sustainable agriculture, better sanitation, literacy and possibly plant a church.  But God had different things in mind. Now, five year later there are all those things . . . including hundreds of new believers in a church in Mayen. They have a pastor.  But these new Christians have now gone to other villages. Using the Jesus Film and other appropriate tools, national evangelists have started multiple churches in many villages in the area. Where there was fighting among active militias there are churches and peace. Help us consolidate and strengthen this multiplying church movement!  Our Christmas goal is $32,000 for our final year’s gift. It helps support the evangelists, the further expansion of church planting, the building of wells and doing literacy through World Concern.
