These mission trips invite you to get your hands dirty and impact others in a way that shows Christ’s love.

Reach beyond yourself, and grab onto an exciting, hands-on service opportunity at one of many mission experiences across the country. Our three partner organizations do the planning, and Missouri United Methodist churches can sign up to attend youth mission trips for teens to locations like California, Florida, Colorado and internationally. Depending on the wants and needs of your youth group, mission work can vary from relationship building to building a house.

These week-long mission trips for teens connect local United Methodist Churches with communities to serve locally, nationally and internationally. Mission trips bring together communities in ways students don’t normally see and provide a space for Christ’s servant love to ignite a passion for others in the youth. Giving our partner organizations the responsibility to take care of the details, such as where you sleep and serve, allows for leaders to focus on pouring into their students. These opportunities are offered for youth groups who have been growing together in God’s Word throughout the year to use their knowledge and experiences to go into the world and impact others by showing how much God loves them.

Contact these three partner organizations, let them know you’re part of the Missouri United Methodist Conference and receive a discount for each member of your youth group.

YouthWorks provides Christ-centered mission trips for more than 20,000 teenagers and adult leaders in over 60 communities across the U.S. and beyond. YouthWorks believes that these kinds of mission trip experiences positively impact the communities we partner with, the teenagers who are stretched and challenged through a week of service, and the adult leaders who build mission trips into the ongoing discipleship of their teenagers.
