Every summer middle and high school youth go on week long mission trips through Youthworks! Inc. These are the highlight of our year. Registration is in the Fall and spots fill quickly. Are you ready to be the hands and feet of Christ?
This year, the high school is headed to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in Wanblee, South Dakota July 12-17, and the Middle School will mission in Quad Cities, Illinois, June 28 - July 3.
We are blessed to work with YouthWorks! Inc.®, a non-profit corporation, that was created in 1994 by a youth minister in Minneapolis, MN. With a Christ centered board, guiding a skilled group of youth workers as staff, it has seen incredible growth.
Youth Works! mission trips emphasize relational ministry. Building relationships, trust, and friendship with others are as important as the physical labor we provide. The Youth Works site teams provide evening programs and activities to further the faith of the missionaries which are followed by time for each church group to gather in an effort to process that day and to motivate the kids for the next day.
