Short-Term Mission Trips

Serve Around the World

Southwood's Short-Term Mission teams are an opportunity to grow in our love for God and others with our partners in Honduras and Tanzania. Each team has a unique purpose and experience but every trip includes:

  • Team meetings and activities in the months leading up to the trip.
  • Time in worship and fellowship with the local church & community.
  • Activities with local children and families.
  • Opportunities to learn local customs and culture.

Teams are led by Southwood Mission staff who coordinate all travel plans. Team members are responsible for the cost of their trip, getting the CDC recommended vaccinations, and attending team meetings. 

All team members are required to have a desire to serve others but do not have to be members of Southwood.

Volunteer Appreciation Month calls for a celebration, especially knowing how amazing our volunteers are. Words can’t express how grateful we are for ALL the people who are the hands and feet of Jesus in our church, in our community and around the world. Stop by the Cafe  during the month of April to enjoy special donut holes that remind us just how special you are to Southwood and to those you serve.
