summer Mission Trip

When:
June 13-21, 2025

Where:
Lima & Cusco, Peru

This summer, we’ll be taking two teams of high school students to Peru to partner with local schools and churches to bring hope to the community. We believe this will be a great opportunity for our students to practice the ways of Jesus, advance kingdom culture, and grow as disciples.

Lima Team

9th-12th Grade

This team will go to Lima, Peru to share the gospel and their testimonies in schools through a drama. Students will also engage in community development projects that are part of a comprehensive vision to help advance the local church’s reach within the community.

Who can go on this trip?

  • Students currently enrolled in 9th or 10th grade
  • Students who are actively engaged in either Student Circles, Student Leadership Experience, or a Valley Creek serve team
Cusco Team

11th & 12th Grade

This team will go to Lima then take an additional, one-hour flight to Cusco, Peru. There, they will partner with local ministries to share the gospel through community service projects and food distribution. Students will have the opportunity to connect with and do outreach in barrios and in indigenous villages.

Who can go on this trip?

  • Students currently enrolled in 11th or 12th grade
