What is the Rochester Mission Trip?
A Way to Serve Others!
The Rochester Mission Trip is a great opportunity for Bethel members to participate in service work right here in our community. You can choose to work at home, at Bethel, or out in the community. It is mission work without having to travel far from home.
We welcome all ages to participate in at home and volunteer projects. Volunteers must be at least 14 years of age to join in projects out in the community.
Mission Project times are 9-12 pm and 1-4 pm unless otherwise specified. You will need to be at your service site on time. You may travel straight there or stop at Bethel for directions to a site.
Prayerfully consider joining in this year’s Rochester Mission Trip!
Do I need to register?
Yes, you will need to register for our Rochester Mission Trip. Worksites in the community do have a limit on the number of volunteers they can take, so please register as soon as possible.
Please note that sign-ups are on a first-come, first-serve basis. You can sign up for one session or multiple sessions. Please register by July 30.
Our community partners count on us to provide the volunteers and we make a commitment to them the week before. If for any reason you are not able to attend your session you will need to inform the church office, Melissa Lamb, or Shari Engel. (Contact information is at the bottom of this page.)
