Give & Help our Students Get to Birmingham this summer!
On the board are envelopes with special numbers representing different amounts that will get us closer to the Discipleship Tour to Birmingham in 2025! Choose a lucky number, go in with a friend or group from church, or pick a few envelopes!
Pick an envelope with a number on it.
Put that many (or more!) dollars in the envelope or…
Give the amount ONline!
For your generosity, we’ll hold you in our prayers throughout our trip. You’ll receive a postcard from a student during the Discipleship Tour sharing about how their faith has grown.
Discipleship Tours are a chance for high school students to practice being a disciple of Christ as they serve the world, build friendships, learn about the world around them, and have the chance to reflect on the trip and where they see God moving in their lives. These trips change lives and we cannot do it without the support of our community! Your contributions provide scholarships for students who could not attend without help, provide meals, help cover the cost of transportation and lodging, and offset other expenses.
Thank you for your generosity!
