Group Trips

Group trips include Weekend Witness, Half Week, and Week-long Urban Immersion. While Weekend Witness has difficult time constraints, we include more with Half Week and Week-long Urban Immersion. While we are flexible with scheduling, visiting groups need to keep in mind that the weekend ministry is essential for the best mission experience for your group.
