Impact of Hosting a Teen Mission Trip

We are passionate about partnering with local congregations who have a heart for missions and students. Together, ThereforeGo and local churches work to share the love of Jesus Christ with those in our own backyards. SERVE is more than just a week-long missions trip for teens; these young adults will walk away with an experience that will have a long-term impact on your local community and the people that live, work, and worship in them. We believe this is a great combination that can have a tremendous Kingdom impact!
