Summer Mission Trips

During the summer, high school students can attend a week-long mission trip to share the Good News of Jesus through word and action. What is a mission trip? It is when you devote a time of your life to serving others in the name of Jesus Christ It is an opportunity for students to move out of their comfort zone and serve others in need. They will work as a team and meet others who have a heart for serving others. The mission trip experience begins at registration and includes "Prep" Meetings before the trip begins. Our high school youth have served in Phoenix and Orange County (CA) in the past two summers. No mission trip is held during a Youth Gathering year.
