South Hills Church Community is a member of The Christian and Missionary Alliance (The Alliance). The Alliance is a Christ centered global movement of more then 6 million strong that has a long history of serving both locally and globally.
As part of their expanding missions focus, South Hills Church Community is adding to their short term trip their partner church in the community of Los Salados, Dominican Republic, two additional trips. The first will be the week before Easter as they will take a team to The Dream Center in Los Angeles to serve those in need in the South Central neighborhoods. The Dream Center is a volunteer-driven organization that meets the needs of more than 80,000 people per month in the Los Angeles area. They provide mobile hunger relief and medical programs, residential rehabilitation programs, shelter for human trafficking, transitional housing for homeless families, foster care intervention programs, job skills training, counseling, basic education, and bible studies; to name a few.
Another new trip for them this year will be serving alongside Alliance Missionary missionary Rick Romano and his local team as they work on phase 2 of a community collective initiative to build a Aquaponic Sustainable Agricultural facility in the community of El Cibao, Santiago, Dominican Republic. Construction of this facility is part of a larger focus to bring sustainable solutions to regions in poverty in lieu of temporary remedies.
Team three will be serving alongside our partnering pastor Elvis Amado Batista and his church in the community of Los Salados. Pastor Batista’s church is making a mighty impact not only in his local church, but in the broader community including a thriving recovering ministry within the local jail and prison system. Pastor Batista has identified a great need for healthy lifestyles and this years team will be focusing on sharing the gospel with the community through the conduit of physical fitness training.
To help fund these trips, South Hills Church Community will be holding a silent auction which Sunbuggy Fun Rentals has gladly donated a dune buggy ride experience to to help raise more money for!
