The Sozo Children’s Choir is a group of children who travel from Uganda to America, leading worship at churches, schools and events.

This choir tour serves as a mission trip for these children, who are often the recipients of short-term mission service from friends and sponsors from the States. Through the tour, the children are able to share Christ’s love, grow in their faith and continue learning to serve others as part of Sozo Children’s mission.

We hope you will join us to experience the power of worship and witness the incredible talent of this children's choir! 🎟️ Tickets are FREE. Click the link in our bio to reserve your seats!

We are reflecting on last week’s powerful lecture given by renowned climate scientist, Katharine Hayhoe! Hayhoe, who is celebrated for her efforts in bridging the gap between Christians and scientists, shared her perspectives on the harmony between God's written word (the Bible) and His expressed word (the universe). She emphasized that any perceived conflicts do not stem from the Bible or the universe, but from our limited understanding, cultural interpretations and social constructs.
