What the Mission Trip Will Be Like

group2

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 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. You might be feedint the hungry in the morning, teching children about Jesus in the afternoon or worshipping with the homeless in the evening. 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!
