PLAN A MISSION TRIP

A short-term mission trip, with good planning and leadership, can be an engaging and meaningful experience, with mutual benefit to the people who go and to the people receiving the group. Participation in a mission trip offers you and your church group a chance to share your time and talents with mission partners from other cultures and realities. Through the trip you learn from each other and worship and serve God together.

Short-Term Mission Trip Toolkit

  • The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) also offers study and education trips. You can find other study, prayer, and educational trips in the events calendar.
  • Presbyterian Women Churchwide now coordinates hands-on mission tours.
