This is the next step (Tier 2) in our mission trip opportunities so that students have a growing maturity to love God and their neighbors.

This year, our 8th-12th grade students will travel to Soddy-Daisy, TN, to serve alongside Greg and Tricia Baney. Greg is the pastor of Woodlands Gathering, whose mission is "To be a community creating a safe place for Native Americans and all people to encounter the good news of God!" The focus of this trip is both service and worship. Students will have the opportunity to serve within the church, but also in the community. This trip is a wonderful chance for students to step into an unfamiliar setting and participate in what our Lord Jesus is doing there.

• Who? Current 8th-12th Grade Students
• Trip Cost: The estimated cost for the trip is $425.
