WHY DO WE PARTICIPATE IN MISSIONS?

The Christian life is most pleasing to God and most joyful for us when we are giving our life away. It is a privilege to bear fruit! (John 15:1-11) Every follower of Christ has received the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20), and we build life-changing relationships when we serve alongside each other.

WHAT ARE OUR OBJECTIVES FOR SHORT-TERM MISSION TRIPS/SERVICE PROJECTS?

When we participate in trips or projects, we seek two outcomes: we desire to have a helpful impact on those we serve and we desire to be transformed in the process. Short-term mission trips and/or short-term service projects should be well conceived, and support long-term objectives. When done well, we believe that short-term opportunities further the Kingdom, and give us a taste of the joy that comes from a life of participating in God's work.

WHAT'S THE PROCESS TO APPLY TO GO ON A SHORT-TERM MISSION TRIP?

Depending on the trip, there are different prerequisites for participation, so we ask that you start by filling out an interest form. Trips come together in different ways, so the trips listed below may not be the only ones we are considering. If nothing stands out to you from our current list, still fill out an interest form! We'd love to keep you informed as opportunities arise. 

If you are interested in going on a trip, please complete this interest form! To learn more about the ministries these trips support, you can find their websites linked below.
