What the Mission Trip Will Be Like
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, Lincoln, Sioux Falls, Des Moines, and Kansas City. We also offer a Refugee Plunge in Lincoln.
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:
BOWDEN YOUTH CENTER – VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA
Volunteers of America’s Bowden Youth Center runs an after-school program that offers education and creative opportunities in a safe, supportive environment, as well as recreational activities and non-competitive sports. They also have trained counselors on staff.
As a part of this project, your team will interact with inner-city youth through games and conversation.
ST. FRANCIS HOUSE
The St. Francis House is an ecumenical emergency shelter for the homeless offering hospitality, fellowship, and support to those who have nowhere to sleep. They provide a warm bed, showers, laundry, food, and other referrals. They offer special services for reaching long-term goals, including employment, independent housing, and addiction recovery.
As a part of this project, your team will serve ice cream to the residents of the St. Francis House, with the opportunity to interact with, pray for, and talk to the residents.

Relation of Opportunity to National Church and/or Long-term Goals
The Urban Plunge brings teams to work with various well-established local ministries whose vision is to serve the inner-city. Teams will partner with these ministries during the trip and have the opportunity to continue their involvement on a long-term basis through prayer or volunteering.
