Standards of Excellence
in Short-Term Mission
Northwestern College is committed to Standards of Excellence (SOE) in Short-Term Mission. The SOE criteria were developed by representatives from many U.S. mission agencies, schools and churches who send short-term missionaries. The common set of standards helps ensure that individuals or teams sent by U.S. organizations are excellent.
Training, resources, peer input, data collection and accountability are all components of SOE membership. As a member, Northwestern is committed to do short-term mission well—from preparation through follow-up. Northwestern is a covenant member of the SOE.
In keeping with Standards of Excellence in Short-Term Mission, NWC mission trips are characterized by:
- God-centeredness
- Empowering relationships
- Mutual design
- Comprehensive administration
- Qualified leadership
- Appropriate training
- Thorough follow-up
