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

One Village Transformed is a project led by World Concern. South Sudan is the newest nation in the world. It’s also one of the poorest. They have great needs for what Christ-centered development can bring. We were challenged in 2013 to help transform an area of South Sudan for the sake of Christ. So SCC committed to help transform Mayen in partnership with World Concern and with Alderwood Community Church. In these last few years a lot of change has taken place as a result. Of those investments. Recently Dr. Fred VanGorkum visited Mayen, representing both SCC and Alderwood Community Church.
