Service Trips
Service Trips allow students to engage with diverse communities through acts of service and fellowship. Through service, we hope students will experience enriching and challenging growth which will help to foster learning of oneself, of the needs of others, and of the role that service plays in society through a lens of Christian faith.

International Service Trips
The International Service and Missions Program seeks to involve students in cross-cultural service and ministry experiences during their summer break. If you enjoy learning from other people, have a heart for service, and a desire to explore the integration of your faith and service into your life, we would like you to consider joining one of our International Service Trip teams!
We look for people who are:
- Flexible
- Eager to learn from others
- Exhibiting a basic understanding of service
- Willing to step outside of their comfort zones
Through our program, we anticipate students will mature in their sense of self, foster deep relationships among teammates; and demonstrate an appreciation of human differences through interacting with the culture and people of the host country. The application process and team selection takes place each Fall.
