Summer Mission Trips 2026

New Orleans, LA

June 20-28, 2026

Cost - $800

Grades Current 9th grades – college students

Service: With much of the relief and recovery work from Hurricane Katrina complete in New Orleans, we’ve turned our attention to caring for the people of the city. Our desire is to bring hope and restoration to their everyday lives. A big part of this includes partnering with local churches, children’s programming and partnering with local social service organizations. In the evenings, we hope to experience New Orleans’ culture, history and people we explore the French Quarter.

Rutland, VT

July 11-19, 2026

Cost - $800

Grades: current 8th graders – 12th graders

Service - Much of the service work we will do in Rutland includes the outdoors and getting close to the dirt. Whether you’re helping develop and maintain trails at Pine Hills Park, serving with the Parks and Recreation Department staff or weeding in a community garden, you’ll get to experience the great beauty of the Green Mountain state. Participants may also have the opportunity to serve through simple work projects, visit with some of Rutland’s elderly residents or help other local organizations. BONUS we will be joined by folks we met on our mission trip to Idaho. The group from Milaca, MN
