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.

Twin Cities SERVE

The Twin Cities – Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding suburbs – are home to 3.6 million people, Fortune 500 companies, universities and colleges, professional teams in all of the major sports leagues, and a wealth of culture and entertainment. You'll also find miles and miles of biking trails and shoreline along nearly 12,000 lakes. Despite all of this potential for prosperity and recreation, our churches see the struggles of those navigating housing and food instability, people seeking better opportunities, and the impact of the brokenness of our world. Join us as we shine the light of the kingdom through service and the proclamation of gospel truth to our neighbors in need!

Worksites:

Participants will engage with the ministry partners of our two churches and other local organizations. We seek to provide a mix of relational and more labor intensive experiences. Previous worksites have included service to The Dwelling Place, Avail Academy, Feed My Starving Children, Long Siding Farm, Bibles for Missions, Hope for the Community, YMCA camps, Habitat for Humanity, Urban Homeworks, Good in the Hood, Little Earth United Tribes, St. Vincent Thrift Store, Minnesota Teen Challenge, Second Harvest Heartland, Hope Academy, New Creation Food Shelf, and a car wash for our neighborhood.
