Mission Trip FAQ

 
  • Can I Raise Support For My Trip?

    Support can be raised for your missions trip from family and friends, but we ask that you do not seek support from individuals in our church. Members of our church support individuals who need assistance through the Help Go Fund.

  • Do I Need To Attend All Team Meetings?

    Yes, team meetings are a mandatory part of the missions trip. During team meetings, you have the opportunity to meet the other team members, learn about what will be happening during the trip and receive crucial information about your upcoming trip. Exceptions can be made for special circumstances. If you cannot attend a team meeting, please let your team leader know.
