Summer Mission Trips

A mission trip in your own backyard.

In summer of 2024, we are thrilled to announce the return of our youth mission trip program!

This eight-day experience for teens in grades 8+ aims to introduce youth to the spiritual practice of giving back to our comunities in possitive ways. Youth will live in a hosting church for the length of the program, while volunteering in the local community, eating and praying together, and deepening their faith.
