SOLA is a group of college students and young adults in Mitchell, SD looking to encourage one another in the faith as we get together as a family to grow, learn, serve, worship, and rejoice. We serve both Dakota Wesleyan University and Mitchell Technical College.
SOLA is hosted and led by Zion Lutheran Church (LCMS), located at 620 E 3rd Ave, Mitchell, SD.

Join us for our kickoff meeting! We’ll be serving ice cream and toppings, getting to know each other, and deciding together what SOLA will look like this year.
We can’t wait to meet you!
Details will be announced ASAP.
Please check back soon!

🏫 SOLA STUDENT GATHERING
