Mini-Missions 

Students completing 6th - 12th grade are invited to spend select days in the summer to help organizations, families, the elderly, individuals and others in need. Each day, we will have an activity which students give of their time to help those in need. More information will be posted as plans develop.

Senior High Mission Trips

In years past, students have travelled to the Golden Triangle area of Texas to help families affected by Hurricane Rita of 2005 and Ike of 2008 specializing in roofing projects, to Tennesse to help families affected by flooding in 2010 and to Harrisburg, IL to repair homes damaged by tornadoes in 2012. In 2013, we traveled to South Appalachian Alabama to partner with Upper Sand Mountain Parish. In 2014, we partnered with Oak Park UMC in Paris, Tx. This past summer, we traveled to Mesa, AZ to partner with Experience Mission on a Eastern Navajo mission.

Mid-High Mission Trips

Students completing grades 6th - 8th are invited to spend three days in mission completing beginner level projects such as scraping, painting, yard work and small interior house work for those in need. This mission trip is completely organized and run by the students of our church. This past summer, we traveled to San Antonio, TX to partner with DOOR (Discovering Opportunities for Outreach & Reflection) .

Stay tuned for the coming summer plans to be announced.
