Mission Trips
Sugar Creek works with world-class partners that are actively engaged in discipleship. Our trip participants help our partners make an impact with the gospel in their ministry field. Our goal is to send teams that can strengthen and reinforce the work they are currently doing. We provide trip participants with the appropriate training for each trip. We ensure that you will be confident and prepared for every task.
Members are eligible for a 50% scholarship. Ex. If the trip cost is $2000.00 and fundraising protocols are followed, Sugar Creek will pay $1000 towards the trip. This means the trip participant will only raise $1000. Team leaders train each participant on the fundraising process. They will aid in the writing of the fundraising letter and teach you how to raise support and awareness. Each team leader has been through the process before and is happy to help you.
