Mission Trips

Registration Information

 

Overview:

Metro Community Church has partnered with Compassion International to bring the truth of God’s word and the love of Jesus Christ to individuals in the San Salvador area. Many people connected to Metro sponsor impoverished children in El Salvador.

This trip offers the unique opportunity of visiting sponsored children, while serving our partner church and the whole community. During this trip, we may be painting, cleaning, teaching, training, working throughout the community, etc. Whatever is needed! Interaction, encouragement, and support for all people in the 807 project and the surrounding area are our goals.
