“For I long to visit you so I can bring you some spiritual gift that will help you grow strong in the Lord. When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.”
Romans 1:11–12
Short-Term Mission Trips
Aligned with our church vision, we believe that short-term mission (STM) trips provide valuable opportunities for us to live out God’s mission in a cross-cultural context together.
Our approach on these trips is threefold:
To plan STM trips to various regions that support and strengthen the ongoing work of our supported global partners and initiatives.
To cultivate individual and collective discipleship-oriented times to listen and learn from each other, especially from those serving long-term in another culture.
To adjust our STM lens to come alongside ministries; in doing this, that we catch a brief glimpse of the kingdom-work abroad and be inspired for the kingdom-work opportunities in our home context.
Below are our 2025 trips. If you’re interested in finding out more about one or multiple trips, please complete the interest form; one of our team leads will follow up with you.
