North Street Mission Press Release
Press
Release: North Street Mission, a new
mission trip opportunity for youth or adult groups.
Background
Trinity United Church of Christ of Wooster, Ohio is proud
to announce the creation of a new mission trip destination on the third floor
of the church building, called North Street Mission. Three years ago, Head Start who previously
utilized six church rooms, moved out of the church when it purchased a local
elementary school and consolidated all of their locations. The church reviewed the options for the open
rooms and in keeping with our local, regional and global mission focus decided that
we had the ability to turn the empty space into a mission destination for other
groups. The third floor was then
renovated and now has four bunk rooms, a gathering room and two rest rooms with
showers.
About North Street Mission
North Street Mission (NSM)
is a mission trip opportunity for youth or adult groups. We provide a learning experience about big
city issues in a rural setting. Groups
will start off the day working in our free community breakfast program then
venture out to work in other community organizations, in the Wooster area. Educational segments can be arranged on a
variety of issues based upon the interest of the groups. Groups are housed on the recently renovated
third floor of the church in four bunk rooms.
If a group’s schedule allows a free day, NSM is close to a variety of
fun venues as we are located 60 miles south of Cleveland, Ohio.
NSM can house up to twenty
participants including youth groups, adult groups, family intergenerational
groups, etc. The space can be used as a
retreat center for groups or family reunions.
In addition, the space can be used for youth groups traveling across the
country needing a place to stay for a night or two.
