mission trip Puerto Rico

A New Kind of Mission Trip

It’s not just for high school students anymore!
This summer all students 14 and over are welcome to join us in Puerto Rico!
Adults are welcome too!
In fact, we’re hoping whole families will take the opportunity to serve together!

Why Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico was hit hard by Hurricane Irma.
We wanted the opportunity to both invite more people to experience a week of mission and walk along side, and help, the people rebuilding their communities even now. In Puerto Rico we will be working with both relief agencies and children’s programs and ministries.

​Do I need to speak Spanish?

Nope. Some knowledge of the language couldn’t hurt, but you’ll be fine.

How do we get there?

There will be a flight organized for students traveling alone. Chaperones will be on that flight. Families traveling together may make their own flight arrangements or may choose to travel with the group.

Where will we be?

We will be working in and near the town of Arecibo. Just over an hour from San Juan.

How much will it cost?

Picture
As of this moment, the cost breaks down like this:
  • Base Price: $450
  • Airfare: TBA
  • Van rental in Puerto Rico: TBA
​Do I need spending money? You’ll need some money for meals while we’re traveling and maybe for a souvenir or two.
More information about that as we get closer to July.

Will there be fundraising?

Yes, we will be doing fundraising to lower the costs of the trip for high school students primarily. If funds exist, college students may apply for them as well as adults. As of this moment, we’re asking all adults to pay their own way.

Why July?

We partner with a company called Youthworks that coordinates all of our service projects, meals and accommodations while on the trip. They offer trips only during the summer months.

How do we get more information and register?

Our first Trip Meeting will be October 14 at 11:00 am in room 200

You can register online here.
Please note this is in our new church software, Realm. If you haven’t made an account, you will need to do so.
