How often you serve is up to you and the needs of the ministry in which you’re serving! Most volunteers serve a few times a month, while others serve once a month. We will work with ou to find a rhythm that fits your availability.

The average cost is around $1,200, though the cost of a mission trip varies, depending on season, airfare, mission, project, etc. This amount includes airfare, lodging, transportation, project supplies, background check, guide/translator, and clean water supply. An additional $450 is to be brought by the participant for food and excursion.

A typical SaltyKids service is fun, engaging, and centered on Jesus. We begin with an opening game, head into large group for our lesson and worship time, and end with small groups where we learn memory verses and pray with our leaders. Our SaltyKids Jr classrooms look similar to the elementary experience, with added snack time and age appropriate activities. Our goal is for kids to love coming to church and grow in their faith.

Both. During the week, it operates as a full coffee shop. On Sundays, it becomes an extension of our church space where you can attend the service in a more relaxed, coffee-shop environment. It even has a venue space available for rent.

Many people were baptized as infants as a meaningful decision made by their family. A believer’s baptism, however, is a personal decision made when someone chooses to follow Jesus themselves. For that reason, many people choose to be baptized again as a way to publicly declare their own faith.

Some are. We offer a variety of Groups, including couples groups, men’s groups, women’s groups, topic or study-based groups, or hybrid groups with people from different backgrounds. You can choose the environment that feels most comfortable for you.
