KING’S PROJECT
July 12 – 21, 2023
We are excited to announce that The Prestonwood Student Choir is returning to the United Kingdom, this summer, on King’s Project 2023! We’ll be ministering all over the north of England, from Teesside, to York, and even as far as Edinburgh, Scotland! Partnering with churches such as The Belfrey Chruch and Coulby Newham Baptist Church, and parachurch organizations like Tees Valley Youth for Christ and Transforming Teesside Together, we cannot wait to go and be the hands and feet of Jesus, in the United Kingdom. In addition to these service opportunities, we will perform dynamic outreach concerts, opening up an opportunity to share the Gospel with all those in attendance! Would you consider joining us on mission, this July 12-21, as we take the Gospel to the United Kingdom?
