Mission Trips

“At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by “I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.” -St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta

If you are interested in serving the poor, lonely, and unwanted in our country and in the world then we invite you to join us on one of our mission trip opportunities this year. Trips range in length, location, and cost but all allow us to serve Jesus through caring for His people. As we grow in relationship with each individual person we begin to see them not just as people in need but as real friends, equals, brother and sisters in Christ. We will grow in compassion, love, and self-sacrifice. Each of the below trips will include daily prayer, talks, and opportunities to grow in friendship with other young men and women.

Newman Mission: This year our Newman Mission Trip will be to the delta region of Mississippi during Spring Break 2019. With one of the highest poverty rates in the country, Mississippi will be a powerful location to come serve and be personally transformed by the people encountered there. We will be working alongside local programs doing home rehab & repairs, neighborhood cleanup, recreational programs for youth, working with the elderly, and serving at food pantries. Cost will be announced soon.
