Go

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”

1 Peter 4:10 NIV

Life on Mission Through Going

We are intentional by going to people in our neighborhoods, communities, and around the world. It is our mission to connect people to Jesus and one another. Consider how you should follow Jesus to go and make disciples across the street, around the city, and throughout the world.

Upcoming Trips

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Southeast missions trips comply with COVID safety regulations?

All mission trips are planned in compliance with current regulations from the Center for Disease Control, the U.S. state department, destination country regulations, and state or local health regulations, recognizing these may fluctuate. This includes following common practices such as social distancing 6 feet, wearing masks when in closer proximity or indoors, and the provision of hand sanitizer or hand washing facilities as available. We also consult the airline being used, as well as SOS for international travel information.

Airlines and receiving countries currently require proof of a negative COVID test prior to flight departure coming and going. Each country has different requirements, and this includes airports in countries where travelers transit. Many countries now require proof of completed COVID vaccination for immediate entry.

Are Southeast mission trips safe?

Counting the cost is a part of trusting God in going on any trip whether local, U.S. or International. We ask that each mission trip applicant weigh the pros and cons of attending a trip and ask questions (either contact the team leader or send an email to Ruth at rlemaster@secc.org) prior to applying.

This enables our missions’ ministry team and team leaders to hear concerns, pray about and address them. A Pandemic High Risk legal release and indemnification agreement must be signed by each team member while the CDC states COVID-19 and its variants are still considered an outbreak.

How do I pay for the trip?

Trip participants are encouraged to invite friends and family in their efforts to raise financial and prayer support for the mission trip. Raising support is an integral part of your short-term mission experience. God could be waiting for an opportunity to show you how big He is!

Trip participants may begin fundraising after having been notified of acceptance to the team and informed of proper fundraising procedures. Detailed fundraising guidelines, materials, and deadlines will be provided at your 1st Team Meeting.

If full support is not raised, any balance is the team member’s responsibility. Each trip has designated due dates for half and final funds. These dates are listed in the application and must be adhered to.
