Mission Trips
We are excited to announce the mission trips for Summer 2020 below! As a general rule, we want students to work through each "tier" before moving on to the next one so that by the time they graduate from high school they have a taste of what missions can look like in each context from their own city to the farthest reaches of the country.
Tier 1 - Going Greenville
July 12-17, 2020
In order to encourage our younger students to become involved in missions locally and in an effort to show them the many mission opportunities around our own city, our 6th and 7th graders go on an "in-town" mission trip, doing various projects around the city of Greenville. This will be a 5 day, 5 night "trip" where our Jr. High students will come and stay at the Youth Center overnight and be sent out each day to help with different ministries like Miracle Hill, Salvation Army or to do yard work for some of our Senior Saints & widows. We also help lead at MR's VBS program. Our hope and prayer is for God to transform us & those we serve for His Glory!
Tier 2 - MONTGOMERY, AL
JULY 5-12, 2020
Tier 2 of our mission trip structure is a domestic trip for current 8th-12th grade students. This year, we are partnering with 2 Cities Church, a church committed to racial reconciliation located in downtown Montgomery, AL. This trip will have an emphasis on evangelism and mercy ministry in the city of Montgomery as 2 City Church aims to train up disciple makers.
TIER 3 – WASHINGTON STATE
JULY 10-18, 2020
The third tier is a trip for 10th-12th grade students with a cross-cultural emphasis. This summer we have the awesome opportunity to travel to Lummi, WA and partner with MTW as we serve throughout the week. We will be staying on a Native American reservation and working with two missionary families that live there. We will build relationships with the people of Lummi while serving them through various service projects and bible clubs.
