Utah Mission Trip Interest Meeting

Utah Mission Trip Interest Meeting

Utah Missions Trip Interest Meeting
Sunday, August 2 | After Service

We're excited to announce Gospel Community Church's first-ever missions trip to Utah!

This October, we'll be sending a team of 10 people to serve alongside our missionaries, Austin and Emily Porter, at King's Cross Church in Farmington, Utah.

The primary purpose of the trip is to support their church during one of the busiest and most strategic weeks of ministry each year: their Fall Family Festival. This outreach is a tremendous opportunity to connect with families in a community that is only about 2% evangelical. Because many in the LDS community participate in Halloween and fall events, the festival opens countless doors for gospel conversations and ongoing relationships.

Our team will be there to help make that outreach possible by serving in a variety of practical and evangelistic ways while encouraging Austin, Emily, and their church.

Trip Dates: October 21-25 (Wednesday-Sunday). Since the trip runs from Wednesday through Sunday, most people would only need to take a few days off work.

If you're interested in learning more, join us for an Interest Meeting on Sunday, August 2, in Sundeen Hall after the service. We'll share more details about the trip, the ministry opportunities, fundraising, and what it would look like to be part of the team.

We'd love to have you come and prayerfully consider joining us as we partner in the gospel with King's Cross Church.
