ThereforeGo Ministries provides week-long high school service trips and other faith-forming events for middle and high school age students. Each year we partner with churches to host SERVE events in their local communities, which are five to seven-day youth mission trips that send students out to care for and restore their world in an environment where they’ll encounter the concepts of justice and missional living. More than just a short service trip, SERVE is a faith-forming experience where the communities, congregations and students involved all experience lasting transformation.

Lynden SERVE

Lynden is a small town (around 13,000 population) nestled between the Cascade Mountains, the Pacific Ocean, and large cities. The City of Lynden is a farming community focusing on berries, dairies, and potatoes. There are a couple of Christian retreat centers in the area and a number of organizations that support low-income families and homeless individuals.  We would love to have you join us as we go out and serve the wonderful people in our community, building relationships with God and with each other that will last a lifetime.

Worksites:

Participants will work with local organizations to do work around the community that may include light construction projects, yard work, and other various projects that assist nonprofit organizations that serve the poor and homeless.  Worksites may include:

• Cedar Springs Christian Retreat Center
• Telos Center
• Christian Hope Association
• Serving local families
• And more
