What is a Spring Break Trip?

Our Spring Break mission trips are service opportunities for college students. Students are challenged to think critically about how God’s Word speaks to social and spiritual issues. Students are given an open lab to apply God’s word through wholehearted service in our community. Our prayer is that God uses this time of reflection and action to make an eternal impact on young adults and those they serve, as well as a visible impact offering hope and restoration to our community.

Join us this Spring Break to explore your call to act justly in an unjust world, better understand your call to serve God holistically through word and action, enjoy a shared mission experience with your college group, and build on your ministry’s existing community through small groups, worship & outreach.
