Mission Initiatives

Through our Greatest Gift to Jesus missions offering, we are able to cap the costs of mission trips again this year. Domestic trips will cost you only $750 and international trips are a maximum of $1750.


In addition the these cost caps for everyone, we are also offering these exciting incentives:

Student Scholarships
In 2025, we are offering opportunities that give students avenues to lower their overall trip cost while also equipping and challenging them to grow in preparation for their trip. There are five ways that students can earn a discount, each worth 10% of the total cost of the trip. This means that if your student completes all five, they can earn up to 50% off!  For details email Justin Graham or Matheu Scott.
