We are on mission! In our never-ending effort to love God and people, we will join together as a church for our annual Mission To The City (August 19-26). This is an incredible opportunity for you, your family, and your friends to go on mission right here in Utah. We have over 25 projects with 300 different volunteer slots available. You don’t want to miss out on this chance to make a huge impact in people’s lives. You can volunteer in as many areas as your schedule allows. Please contact Pastor Mac with questions (mac@trc.life).
