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.

Redlands SERVE

The city of Redlands is located in beautiful sunny Southern California, about an hour and fifteen-minute drive east of Los Angeles. Redlands is also an hour drive from the beach, mountains and desert, making its location prime! The River CRC is located on the south side of Redlands where the citrus in the air is thick twice a year from the citrus blossoms. Due to its location, participants should be prepared for very warm weather! Though Redlands has much to offer, there is much need in the city. Redlands SERVE is an opportunity to help meet the needs of our city. Participants will be serving in many capacities that offer them opportunities for a change of perspective and will also have opportunities to grow in their faith as they worship in various locations throughout beautiful Southern California.

Worksites:

Redlands has a wide range of service projects and outreach opportunities for local and global organizations. Most if not all worksites will be in the city of Redlands, Yucaipa, or San Bernardino. These locations will offer various worksites such as

• Local food banks
• Assisting at area retirement homes and senior centers
• Work alongside a local community garden and single mom's home
• Blessing the seniors of our congregation
• Working along side a local Christian School
• Working with a local community theater
