UNITED Mission Week

Watch our promo video here!

Every year, students, parents and adult volunteers dedicate a week of their Summer to invest in and impact communities in surrounding states. These trips not only bring light and joy to those communities but profoundly impact the hearts and lives of it's participants.

Studies have shown that the more students are involved in serving their own church and their own communities, the more they're likely to continue to serve throughout the year.
Also, the more meaningful adult relationships a students has, the deeper the spiritual impact is for them.

With this in mind, we want to try something new this Summer.

We want to UNITE our mission efforts.

We want to bring together the two trips that have the most impact on it's participants and the community in which they live.

July 8-12, middle and high school students, parents and volunteers will UNITE to serve Mansfield (and it's surrounding areas).

That week, we will sleep at the church, serve our community and immerse ourselves in the love of God.

We will share meals together, worship every night, have fun and create bonds that last a lifetime!

Are you interested in volunteering? Here are some opportunities for you!

 

Work Team Leaders: This is such an important role! Without these committed adults, this week would not be possible. There will be 2 adults per work team of 6-8 students. You will stay at the living center and lead them to fulfilling their projects each day on the worksites.

Laundry Lads & Ladies: These volunteers will pick up the towels from each team in the afternoon, wash them and have them returned by the next morning.  Monday through Wednesday, each volunteer take 4-5 groups worth of towels, 8-10 towels per group.

Snack Saints: These volunteers will drive out to the worksites to visit and encourage each group with words and snacks. This will happen on Monday through Thursday and each team of Snack Saints (2-4 people) will visit about 3-5 worksites.

Security: This is for some of our night owl volunteers. They will be surveying the living center from about 10pm-1am. Making sure everyone gets back to their rooms and gets the lights out on time.

Meal Makers: These volunteers will help the cook teams setup, prepare, serve, and take down for each meal. The cooks will have time slots available for each meal time.
