Mission Trips
We are excited to announce the mission trips for Summer 2024 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 14-19, 2024
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 will be sent out each day to help with different ministries in our community like Miracle Hill, Salvation Army and/or serving some of our senior saints & widows in the church by helping with yard work or small house projects. We also help lead and serve 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 13-18, 2024
Tier 2 of our mission trip structure is a domestic trip for current 8th-12th grade students. This year our 8th-12th grade students will be headed to Montgomery, Alabama to serve Strong Tower at Washington Park church.
This is the "next step" in our mission trip opportunities so that students have a growing maturity to love God and their neighbors.
TIER 3 - Yukatan peninsula
July 13-20, 2024
The third tier is a trip for 11th-12th grade students who have participated on a Tier 2 youth trip in the past. If you do not meet this requirement, you may still apply, but a parent/legal guardian must attend with you.
