Summerside Community Church is committed to providing a learning environment for youth to gain ministry experience during the summer. 

Julianna Gillis, 2019 Summer Student Intern shares this:

"My summer internship at the church had a significantly positive influence on me. It provided me with the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the community, instilling a sense of purpose and fulfillment within me. By engaging with diverse individuals and undertaking valuable projects, I acquired new skills, expanded my network, and developed a deeper appreciation for the significance of faith and compassion in our daily lives."

Julianna is now part of leading SCC's Young Adults Group, she is an entrepreneur who has her own photography business (Juleskye Photography) and works part-time doing social marketing work for a local business. God is doing good things in Julianna's life. Thank you for being part of her development!

We are seeking financial assistance from individuals who have a heart for the next generation. If you would like to contribute, above your regular giving or through a pledge, we would greatly appreciate it. Donations can be made through cash, cheque,
