High School Mission Trip 2023 - Providence, Rhode Island

In the summer of 2023, Bethel's high school youth will travel to Providence, Rhode Island for a week of mission and learning!  New England is the birthplace of the United States making the area rich in history and culture built on Christianity although only 57% of Bostonians currently claim to be Christian.  Youth will partner with local churches and non-profits to serve the community and share Jesus' love. Our mission trip partner, Praying Pelican Missions, has a long history of mission and service in this area.  

In addition to the mission work, there will be an opportunity to enjoy the local culture and nature.  

Dates: June 23-July 1
Cost: $575 (includes housing, food, activities & transportation)
Who: students in grades 8-12 for 2022-23
