What is SITC?
God's Hands and Feet in H-Town
Is it a Summer Youth Camp? YES, sort of. Is it a Youth Mission Trip? YES! Is it local? YES! Is it expensive? NO! Is it worthwhile and relevant for today’s teens? ABSOLUTELY! Is there anything else like it? NO! Is it a zany, crazy, impactful, full-on Holy Spirit-filled, fun and deeply life changing youth event? YES, YES, YES! Now you’re getting closer!
What exactly is it?
​
SitC is a week-long summer experience that gives 7-12th grade students the opportunity to serve at various work sites in and around the Houston area. Throughout the week, the youth build their own faith, strengthen their relationships with other youth, and share the love of Christ out in the City in tangible ways.
​
All participants (both youth and their adult leaders) are housed at St. Timothy’s Anglican Church in Spring, Texas, for the week. Mornings begin with devotions, quiet time and prayer, then teaching that lays out the plan of the day. Week-long “Family Group” work teams then head out to their day of service. Work sites in the past have included: VBS programs, food shelter serving, street church services, food pantries, meals on wheels deliveries, food banks, retirement centers, various types of special needs centers and neighborhood renovations. We have partnered with Generation One, YWAM, Houston Food Bank, Salvation Army and many more, as we truly aim to be the hands and feet of Christ working with these ministries.
​
Upon return from the worksite day, there are onsite showers and some always ZANY (and sometimes wet or messy!) games and fun together before dinner. Our meals are provided during this week by an amazing volunteer team who go above and beyond to make sure everyone is well fed! And there is a absolute MOUNTAIN of cookies involved!
​
After dinner, the evening consists of wonderful worship time with lots of music, a Biblical life application teaching and small "Family Group" discussion and interaction, before heading back together for even more worship! I can’t begin to describe all the activities here, but I hope this gives you a quick idea of what Soul in the City is. All of this adds up to one HUGE week, both growing closer to Christ and showing the world what His hands can do.
​
During the week, entire teams of adult volunteers oversee security, worksite management, health and safety, food teams, full time prayer coverage, drivers, worship music, lessons, discussions, and quite a few other surprises....
​
We ask that you would please be in prayer for this event leading up to and during the week of July 15-21 and we would love to have you join us if you can!
