An SSO program may last a day. The relationships built there can continue long after it ends.
That’s why partnerships with local churches and parachurch ministries are an important part of the Soul Survivor Outdoor mission.
Our outdoor adventures create an environment where service members can step away from the demands of military life, build relationships, and engage in honest discussions about resilience, identity, purpose, and faith. But spiritual fitness isn’t built in a single day. Like physical fitness, it requires continued investment, community, and people willing to walk alongside you.
When volunteers from local churches and Christian organizations join our programs, they aren't simply helping with a program. They become a local connection. They spend the day alongside service members—sharing the adventure, building trust, listening, and developing relationships in a natural setting.
SSO’s mission includes reaching service members with the Gospel, connecting them with others, helping them build a Christ-centered foundation, and creating opportunities for that faith to continue growing. Strong local partnerships help turn those goals into relationships that can continue well beyond that one day.
Churches and parachurch ministries aren’t just supporting SSO's program. They’re helping build the community around service members after the adventure is over.
We are grateful for every pastor, ministry leader, church, organization, and volunteer who steps into that role with us.
