Building a Lifestyle of Service

Mission Trips
We believe that practicing faith is just as important as knowing what we believe. While we absolutely know that Bible study, prayer and worship are essential to faith development, we often hear that people feel closest to God when they are serving. Because we are all created unique, we also know that people need space to serve in the ways that they are created to thrive. Teenagers serving out of their created identity are one of the biggest wins for us.

We provide service opportunities for all of our grade levels through local and national trips. Each of our mission opportunities has a unique purpose and focus that allows our youth and adults a chance to reach others in the name of Christ.

We hope that service is more than a once a year event for our youth ministry. We pray that it becomes a part of their lifestyle.
