Mission Trip Tiered Pricing
We believe mission trips have the power to shape faith, build community, and form people through hands-on service. We also believe that cost should never be the reason someone feels unable to participate.
Tiered pricing allows us to make this mission trip accessible to as many people as possible. Through the generosity of donors and designated ministry funds, we are able to offset some of the costs for those who need it, while inviting others to help cover the full cost of the trip. Each tier reflects the same experience, the same work, and the same mission—only the cost differs.
We also believe that everyone should make a meaningful personal contribution toward the trip. Shared investment helps build commitment, responsibility, and a sense of ownership in the mission we are undertaking together.
Please choose the tier that best fits your current situation. No explanations are required.
Youth Scholarship Information
Youth participants may apply up to $50 in earned scholarship support by entering the code YOUTH at checkout.
If cost is truly a barrier to participation, please reach out to Pastor Chris privately.
All participants receive the same experience, serve in the same ways, and are part of the same mission.
