2012 Senior High Mission Trip (10 Jun 2012)
The senior high youth will return to Mexico this year to continue work with Ramon Celis. The mission trip is a fun, faith-filled, rewarding experience for all participants.
Servant Leader Commitment
As disciples of Christ, we hear Jesus' call to follow in His footsteps. Jesus challenged each disciple to serve God with his whole life. For many youth groups, a week-long mission trip is the single focus of their service experience. At FPCD, the mission trip is just one phase of our mission program. In fact, participants going on the mission trip are expected to participate in weekly or monthly programs as a way of developing a servant's heart prior to the trip.
A large part of the mission experience also has to do with how well participants know each other. For this reason, individuals are required to participate in at least 25 Bible studies between October and May and attend worship faithfully throughout that time (minimum of 25 worship services). Participants will also seek to develop their personal faith.
These expectations are not designed to limit participation in the mission experiences but rather to help the participants gain a greater understanding of what it means to be a servant Leader.
Junior High Mission Trip 2012 (15 Jul 2012)
The junior high youth will travel to Grand Rapids, Michigan this year for the 2012 Mission Trip. The students will help people in real need - all while having a great time with new friends from across the country. The mission trip is a fun, faith-filled, rewarding experience for all participants. We hope you'll join us - sign up early because we only have 20 spots reserved.
Here are some comments from youth who have attended these trips in the past.
"I attended a Week of Hope. It was my first mission trip with my church. I am the newest member of my youth group, and I didn't really feel accepted into it. After a few nights there, I grew closer to my youth members, and I now know that I am accepted, and I FEEL accepted. But not only did I grow closer to my youth group, I grew closer to God. I am so thankful that he led me to my youth group, and to this mission trip. – Anonymous
