Distant Missions

Our "Distant Mission" program is extensive. Each year, nearly two-thirds of the adult population of Lost Creek will travel somewhere to engage in mission work. The foundation of our distant mission work is a long-term commitment to work in Alaska and Belize. Besides these large trip initiatives, members will also travel on teams to many other places. Lost Creek members have traveled to many places on mission including Costa Rica, Peru, Bolivia, and Israel.

Alaska Mission

Each year during the summer Lost Creek will send a mission team to Girdwood, Alaska. While there, the mission team will complete projects throughout the town in conjunction with our partner church, Girdwood United Methodist. In the past the mission team has painted, built cabins, replaced roofs, cooked for the community, helped at Vacation Bible School, and even fixed the town sign! The team hosts monthly fundraiser luncheons after worship during the Fall and Spring to help fundraise for their trip. While registration for the 2024 mission trip is closed, we invite you to fill out the form below to let us know if you're interested in joining the Alaska Mission next year!
