We will have our Big Creek Mission Trip from June 29th- July 5th! This will be open to 8th grade through college and is intended for students who are mature and willing to work hard long days loving on hard to love people sharing the love of Jesus! It is a long, hard, but extremely rewarding and transformative mission experience. Your student will see kids and adults who live very differently than they do and be equipped to love others and share the Gospel!
