High School (Senior High) Mission & Outreach Opportunities
Senior High Summer Mission Trip -
2010 dates and details to be announced soon!
The Senior High Mission Trip to the Pittsburgh Project
in Pennsylvania (June 21-27, 2009) was a wonderful experience for both alums and newcomers! The homeowners that we assisted throughout the week
(yard work, painting, masonry, roofing and more) were extremely grateful for our efforts in the name of Christ.

Below is a recap of one youth's experience from the
2009 mission trip:
The Pittsburgh Project (TPP) was a great experience
for me and for all the other Senior High participants who went. TPP is a mission outreach program in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania designed to assist people (homeowners) or families who don't have the money to make needed repairs on their homes; teenage and parent volunteers go there every year to help. My group helped Mrs. Benjamin, and we fixed her gutters and windows, repaired her front steps by applying new mortar and cement, and installed two new screen doors, as well as some cleaning jobs. One night we were able to invite our homeowner to a special dinner; she brought her grandkids, and we had a great time with them. We had opportunities for fun as well, and did a little sightseeing. The best part was being able to see the joy and tears in our homeowner's eyes the last day as she looked at her new, improved home. I am definitely looking forward to next year's mission trip!
