Short-Term Mission (STM) Trips

“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

  • 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:

    1. To plan STM trips to various regions that support and strengthen the ongoing work of our supported global partners and initiatives.

    2. To cultivate individual and collective discipleship-oriented times to listen and learn from each other, especially from those serving long-term in another culture.

    3. To adjust our STM lens to come alongside ministries; in doing this, that we might catch a brief glimpse of the kingdom-work abroad and are inspired for the kingdom-work opportunities in our home context.

We are excited to announce the following trips for the year. We are grateful for the opportunity to visit, serve, experience, and encourage our brothers and sisters in these different contexts and in the kingdom work they are a part of.
