Serving, connecting, and sharing hope across communities. 🤍

This summer, the Office of Global Education and Outreach sent students to Northern Ireland to serve alongside Cornerstone City Church during their annual I Heart Derry service week. Through children’s ministry, soccer outreach, prayer ministry, and community service, the team shared Christ’s love and built connections. 🌎
