Youth Mission Trip

Church of the Lakes Youth Mission Trip 2024

A team of youth and adults will be headed to Music City – aka Nashville, Tennessee for mission work this summer. In Nashville they may be serving at several different locations including: an adult day program, an art camp for disabled adults, a senior center, a children’s ministry camp, a Christian summer literacy program, a non-profit that collects and redistributes shoes and clothes, doing landscaping for a 10-acre retreat center for a local non-profit or gardening at a community farm.
Why Nashville: Although there’s a lot to see and do in Nashville, the community also has an intertwined diversity of highs and lows. About 13% of the population lives below the poverty line. People are trying to live off minimum wage in a city where you need two or three times that wage to survive. Homelessness statistics are 20-30% higher than the national average.

They will be hosted by Group and staying at one of their locations June 23rd – 28th . When they are finished they will be staying in the Nashville area for one extra day to enjoy the area before heading home.
They have planned for 25 youth from Church of the Lakes to go which means we will need at least five adults to go as well. If you have ever been interested in going on a mission trip but know your construction skills are not up to par, this may be the trip for you! At a minimum, kids must be entering 9th grade in the fall of 2024.

Cost: $300-350/person. We will be holding a fundraiser in May to help lower the final cost. This includes lodging, and all but one meal while in Nashville, a T-shirt, and more.
