8th Grade Mission Experience

8th Grade Mission Experience

United Youth’s 8th Grade 2026 Mission Experience is a wonderful opportunity for youth to step out in faith to engage with God’s mission somewhere in the world.

Youth will prepare for the experience with 3 mandatory training days, then head out to a rural community from June 15 – June 19, for a life changing experience, full of God moments and service opportunities. Youth will get to swing a hammer, turn a wrench, and learn to love your neighbor in a brand new way.

*2026 Trip location will be announced soon.*

Use this to let you friends and family know what you’re doing to build God’s Kingdom here on earth and how they can be a part of it.

STEP #1: Registration is now closed. Please contact Pastor Corey with any questions.

Step #2: Sign-Up for Remind 101 (This will be our primary way of communicating during the trip, please be sure to register in order to receive updates.)

Step #3: Please complete the updated Youth Release Waiver to finalize your registration.

COST
Registration: $430.00

*The cost does not include any tools that you’ll need. Plan to purchase about $50 worth of tools, if you don’t already have them. The church has a limited number of tools you can use if you need help, or even better, you can connect with a previous youth to reuse their tools. (The church family working together!)
