Family Mission Trips

Churches now have the opportunity to offer YouthWorks mission trips to families! YouthWorks Family Mission Trips are designed as an opportunity for churches to engage families in service and missions together.

Tailored to the needs and capabilities of families (from small children to grandparents), these weeks will provide meaningful service opportunities for multi-generational groups as well as cultural and recreational opportunities that every generation can enjoy. 

This 4-night (Sun Evening–Thurs Morning) experience is an excellent way for your church to invite families to serve, learn and grow together.

Your family mission week awaits you! Check out where families can serve together in 2008.

Family mission trips are available for $198 per person for the weeks of June 29 and August 3 at the following communities:
