Appalachia Mission Trip
Louisa, Kentucky
June 22 – June 30, 2024

We are embarking on another exciting adventure to the beautiful Appalachian Mountain region of Eastern Kentucky (just across the river from West Virginia). We had overwhelming positive reviews from this past year – so we are definitely going back! You will have the opportunity to engage in meaningful service projects that have a lasting impact on residents from Louisa, Kentucky. We partner with the Father Beiting Center to provide an enriching experience for youth and the adult chaperones. From organized service projects to a Jesus-centered program that sparks deep conversations and daily devotions, our mission trip to Kentucky is designed to help youth grow in their relationship with Jesus while serving (and being served) by others. We don’t go on mission to change others, we go to change ourselves.
