Details About The Trip:

How much does the trip cost?

The deposit and second payment will cover your total plane ticket cost ($1,050). Plane tickets will be purchased on Feb 17, 2022 and all tickets are non-refundable. If you must cancel for any reason after Feb 17, 2021 can apply to receive a credit to Alaska Airlines for the amount of $1,050 that can be used within one year of the original flight date of July 9, 2022.

    Our goal is to raise funds doing a Sunday School letter campaign during the spring of 2022 to help off set the cost of the trip and bring the total down to about $1,500 per person. We will need to raise $8,000 in order to meet the $1,500 per person price range.

  • December 16, 2021 is the deadline to register for the trip.

Can 11th-12th grade parents attend this trip?

  • Yes, parents of youth attending the trip can also attend. All cost for adults and students are the same. Registration is also the same for parents and adults.

Who can go on this trip?

  • Current (2021-2022 school year) 11th and 12th grade students. All student who plan on attending the Alaska Mission Trip are required to attend at-least one normal youth program a month from January to May 2022. This is so all students can get to know the youth staff and get to know the other youth on the team.

Will there be pre-mission trip meetings?

  • Yes, we will have two mandatory meetings for all youth and parents to attend. Dates for the meetings will be emailed out by January 2022.

Why is the 11th-12th grade mission trip in Alaska this year?

  • Every year the 11th-12th grade students go on an international mission trip. Due to current global pandemic, we are not able to travel internationally at this time. We are able to travel within the US and so the youth parent committee and youth staff began looking for mission trip opportunities in the US. We had such a great experience with Praying Pelican Missions last year in Alaska that we voted to return again this year. We have also been invited by our host church to come back and serve at that location again.
