Mission statement

The SWISH CEA Mission is to impact the lives of young people in our Springwood and Winmalee Hhigh Sschools with the Gospel, helping many to become disciples of Christ and to mature in Him through employing experienced, committed Scripture teachers. This mission is carried out by local churches praying, sharing and promoting the vision, giving money, time and energy to this end.

This is one way local churches are working together in their shared mission of the extension of the Kingdom of God in the general community.
