Available Trips

Ministry trips have changed lives. We offer a variety of trips both in destination and ministry. God has given us the opportunity to partner with other organizations and to assist them in their current ministry. Sometimes we are a surge of extra manpower for large projects. Other times we are just fresh faces that encourage them to continue the path to which God has called them. Click here for a quick overview or learn about a specific trip listed below.

The Ministry Trips Director

I count it a definite privilege to be the Ministry Trips Director. I have personally participated in many mission trips and know that my life has been changed because of those experiences. God used the various trips to teach me about Him and about me. What excites me about our program, is that young people are going on trips and coming back changed. Changes that impact how they view God, how they pray, how they love people, how they view material possessions, and how they involve themselves in ministry. Stated simply, ministry trips change their lives!
