THE MISSION IN
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI

Settling in the 1800’s for its rivers, Kansas City has boomed into a wonderfully unique city. offering something for everyone with rich history, world class food, and a vibrant diverse community! 

Like any community, Kansas City has had its share of historical struggles to overcome. There are many in the city who need physical assistance as they experience poverty, and homelessness. At Next Step, we have an amazing opportunity to join alongside local organizations and ministries to help meet these needs and share the love and hope that only Christ can bring. 

In 2022 we began our partnership with this community. We are honored to be a part of neighborhood co-operations who act as a catalyst for community transformation. As some of our friends here say, “We believe this transformation will be evidenced in noticeable decreased crime, neighbor helping neighbor, a sense of morality and a renewed vibrancy in churches to engage the community with compassion, preach the gospel and disciple believers toward maturity in Christ.” 

This is no longer just a hope – it is becoming reality.

Join us next summer in Kansas City!

Training debriefing
Training: This pre-trip training prepares students to serve with humility, purpose, and a Christ-centered mindset. Built around Jesus’ call to be the light of the world (Matthew 5:14), the LIGHT framework equips teams to listen well, honor local leadership, serve humbly, build meaningful relationships, and carry what they learn back home. Through Scripture, discussion, and practical reflection, students learn that mission trips are not about fixing problems, but about joining what God is already doing—shining Christ’s love in ways that bring dignity, hope, and lasting impact. Debriefing: Church Time is a dedicated space for leaders and students to reflect on the day’s experiences, share stories, and grow deeper in their faith. Through guided discussions, Scripture, and intentional questions, participants explore their purpose for serving, recognize God’s work in their lives and communities, and examine how they can continue living out their faith beyond the trip. It’s a safe place to process emotions, celebrate victories, wrestle with challenges, and strengthen relationships—both with God and with one another—ensuring that the mission trip experience has a lasting spiritual impact.
