We have a new process this year for the youth summer mission trips as noted below:

  1. Any student interested in attending will need to complete a questionnaire. This questionnaire will help SGUMC staff and adult volunteers to better prepare for the mission.
  2. Upon receipt of completed questionnaire, SGUMC staff will send a registration link to the student.
  3. After registration is paid and finalized, each student will be required to attend 3 training meetings and 1 service project with Rebecca during the spring semester (January-May). Tentative dates for these can be found below. Students will also be required to attend at least 3 Evening RISE gatherings.


Tentative Training Meeting Dates:

Session 1: You must attend one of these dates - March 2, 4 or 6

Session 2: You must attend one of these dates - March 16, 18 or 20

Session 3: You must attend one of these dates - April 6, 8 or 10


It is our hope that these changes will create a more meaningful and impactful experience for everyone involved. Should you have any questions, please contact Rebecca King.

PLEASE NOTE Questionnaire is only for teens looking to attend mission trip to fill out.
