Short-Term Trips

About Trips

Experience, Serve, and Grow in Faith

Step outside your daily routine and join a team serving alongside our global partners. These 1-2 week trips support the work of our "Sent Ones"—individuals and families sent to live and serve in cross-cultural contexts. Participants experience diverse cultures, witness God’s work globally, and discover their calling as Everyday Sent Ones or explore a possible calling as Vocational Sent Ones.

Why Short-Term Trips Matter

At Sojourn Church Midtown, we believe in sustainable kingdom work. Our short-term trips prioritize supporting the ongoing ministries of our Sent Ones, not creating short-term fixes. Our goal is to strengthen Sent Ones, encourage their perseverance, and contribute meaningfully to their long-term mission.
