Site Description

Lethbridge is a city of 100,000+ in southern Alberta.Lethbridge is home to the High-Level Bridge, the largest railway structure in Canada, and is a short 1.5 hour drive from the Rocky Mountains. The region has a high level of unhoused people and poverty (2024 statistics showing over 500 unhoused people living Lethbridge). We also have a large indigenous population.

At our SERVE site you will get to interact with all kinds of people within our community. Lethbridge has a large unhoused population, and you will spend time working with some of our local organizations that work with them to make sure they have food and clothing, as well as people in need in our congregation. This might look like helping with yard work, fence painting, or cleaning around their house.

SERVE Projects

  • Mission and ministry to unhoused people on the streets of Lethbridge
  • Cleanup of river valley and/or parks of Lethbridge
  • Soup kitchen serving unhoused and poor of the community
  • Aiding community members with housework and yard work

In partnership with local churches and organizations in and near:

Lethbridge, AB

You’ll be sleeping in the church facility with showers off-site.  There is a kitchen, washrooms, gymnasium, and A/C in the church.

We will be visiting Waterton Lakes National Park! Plan for some hiking, possibly some swimming, and lots of sightseeing of God’s beautiful creation!

Cell phones are not allowed during the SERVE week at this site for students.  Cell phones may be used during the travel from your church to the SERVE site, but then are not allowed to be used during the SERVE week.  Adult leaders will have their cell phones during the week.

Lethbridge is an arid, semi-desert climate. It’s hot and dry in the summer and sunblock and moistruizer are important. We can get strong winds; gusts have been over 100 km/h.

Registration fees do NOT include transportation to and from the sites. Each church group must provide vehicle(s) and adult driver(s) for the entire mission experience regardless of whether you fly or drive to the site. The vehicles you bring will be used to transport small groups to the work site each day, so 12-passenger vans, SUVs, or mini-vans are preferred. Cars do not facilitate the transportation of an entire small group in one vehicle, so please do not bring them. If you wish to bring a bus, please check with the Host Team to see if this is acceptable before you make arrangements. If your group is unable to provide van transportation, please have a youth leader call the ThereforeGo Ministries office to discuss options and additional potential charges.

Lethbridge (YQL) or Calgary (YYC). Please DO NOT book airfare until you have received email confirmation from ThereforeGo Ministries that you have been placed at this site.
