This summer, we have the opportunity to help Salmon Valley Baptist Church reach kids and young families in their community. This mission trip opportunity is open to the whole Eastside family, and we want to make a special invitation to families with kids to work together as a family unit. This is an opportunity where kids play a significant role as they relate to children their own age. Salmon represents a tremendous opportunity to reach children who do not know the Lord and may not have ever heard the Gospel.

In preparation, team members, parents, and kids will learn to share the Gospel, operate elements of the Wonder Camp and begin to practice some missionary skills that will be helpful in Marietta for years to come.

Dates: July 5-12
Travel: This trip will allow each family to determine their own travel arrangements.
