Bring your group on the ultimate urban mission trip! Spread the Word of God and the love of Jesus on a week-long or weekend trip with eternal significance. Experience new cultures within the USA, work with the homeless and those in need, discover your ability to serve others outside your comfort zone, discover God’s call for your life, and have life-changing impact within local communities.

For over a decade Christ For the City International has been sending people into the inner-city to transform lives and cities for the Glory of God. The Urban Plunge program sends over 1,500 youth every year into 7 different cities within the United States: Chicago, Dallas, Omaha, Los Angeles, Sioux Falls, Des Moines, and Kansas City. We also offer a multicultural Plunge in Los Angeles.

We arrange all the details, partnering each group with 2-3 different ministries on each day of your trip, which allows students to discover how God is calling them. In addition to planning the schedule, we also take care of the food and accommodations for your trip at a very affordable price. Each Urban Plunge team is accompanied by a trained facilitator, who will encourage and debrief your youth in how to live lives of purpose, challenge, and incredible fulfillment for the Lord.

CUSTOMIZABLE: You tell us the dates that work for you. You tell us how many days you would like to serve! You know your group, so we put you in the driver's seat!

Here are some possible ministries you could serve at during your Urban Plunge:

OUR CALLING

Our Calling is a homeless ministry in Dallas that works in the areas of education, mentoring, recovery, and resource distribution. Their mission is to build long-term relationships with homeless individuals in order to lead them into a relationship with Jesus Christ and to invest in their lives through Christian discipleship.

As a part of this project, your group will have many opportunities to help with Bible Studies, resource distribution and prayer, playing games with our homeless friends, or in the kitchen. There are also opportunities to participate in our Search and Rescue ministry, where we go around the city to different homeless camps and check on people we know.

DALLAS INTERNATIONAL STREET CHURCH

Dallas International Street Church is a congregation made up of those who are homeless, hungry, low-income, at-risk, suffering from substance abuse, sexual abuse, family violence, or mental illness. The church reaches out to the entire person, spiritually, emotionally, physically, and educationally.

As a part of this ministry, your team will participate in various activities – cleaning, sorting clothing, painting, yard and garden work, evangelism, serving food.
