Mission Trips PDF Print E-mail


God has created a big world and filled it with great diversity. We believe that it is important for students as well as adults to be a part of what the church is doing in the world around them. At least once a year a group of youths and adults have the opportunity to travel out of our home state to assist with needs beyond those with which we are familiar.

Every summer our youth board a bus and travel to a Native-American Reservation, a large inner-city, or a rural area where they spend a week engaged in the ministry of Jesus. It is a transformational time in the lives of our youth. Often this is their first time to see poverty, injustice, and racism up-close and their first opportunity to make a positive difference.

Occasionally Grace Covenant will sponsor an inter-generational trip: for example, an international trip to Mexico, where youth and adults spend a week learning about life in another country while helping improve the living conditions there. There are also periodic opportunities for members to participate in denominational trips to Guatemala.

 

This summer, GCPC youth who have completed 8th through 12th grade will travel to San Antonio, Texas.  The registration deadline is March 28.  Please contact our Youth Director,  Miles McDonald, for more information.

 

We are also sponsoring an international mission trip this year!  Students who have completed 11th and 12th grade, along with any willing adults, will be working with the Cornerstone Foundation in Belize, whose goal is to help people help themselves and to help organizations and social service offices meet their goals within the community.  This trip is scheduled for the first week of August.  Please contact Leah Zak for more information.
