Summer Mission Trip

July 14-19. Join us for an impactful opportunity to serve a small-town community nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains! Rising 9th grader through graduating 12th grader are invited to participate. Teaming up with Youthworks, our trip organizer, we will collaborate with local organizations such as the YMCA, Habitat for Humanity, Second Harvest, and more to support this struggling rural environment.

Beyond the act of service, our aim is to broaden our understanding of life in a small town, inspire change in our own communities, foster meaningful relationships, and deepen our spiritual connection with God, our neighbors, and ourselves. This journey offers a unique opportunity to make God’s love real.

The total cost for the trip is $525. To secure your spot, a nonrefundable deposit of $100 is required upon registration. Final payments are due by July 1st. Meetings for paperwork and trip preparations will be announced at the end of April. We encourage you to join us on this transformative journey!
