2026 Trips
We believe short-term mission trips are more than just a week away—they are a catalyst for lifelong discipleship, leadership development, and gospel movement.
Our short-term mission trips give university and college students the opportunity to step into God’s mission in a new context within Canada—serving alongside local churches, sharing the gospel with peers, and experiencing the power of community on mission. Students return with a deeper passion for Jesus, fresh vision for their campuses, the nation, and practical tools to make disciples. These trips don’t just impact one city for one week; they equip the next generation of leaders to carry the mission of the gospel across Canada and beyond.
