Student Mission Team (SMT)

The vision of the Student Mission Team (SMT) is to reach the school, the community, the city, the country, and the world.

The SMT helps students with a heart for the world to find each other and join together to participate in the kingdom of God through prayer, awareness, and action. The SMT does this through small groups, school events (World Awareness Days), and short-term mission teams.

Short-Term Mission

Every year Briercrest College encourages students to get involved in short-term mission opportunities. During the school year, the SMT sponsors one or two trips to inner-city Vancouver where they work with Union Gospel Mission. Every summer, our TESOL program sends out a group of interns to teach English overseas for four weeks (this year, the students went to Turkey). They also encourage various other teams as they go out into the world over the summer. These teams have included sports teams, music groups, and program groups that have gone to the Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Kazakhstan, Haiti, and more.
