Youth High School

Hey current 8th Graders through Graduating HS Seniors! Our Summer Youth Mission Trip will be held in Asheville, North Carolina this year! Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville is a city full of beauty, creativity, and community. And like every place, it also carries real stories, real needs, and real people doing meaningful work.

Our high school mission trip to Asheville isn’t just about one project or one cause. It’s about discovering what it actually means to love your neighbor in real places, with real people, and in ways that matter.

Throughout the week, students will serve alongside local organizations, meet people from different walks of life, and learn how communities respond to challenges together. Along the way, they’ll be invited to see the world a little differently — noticing needs, building relationships, and realizing how their own gifts can make a difference.

Most of all, it’s a chance for students to grow in empathy, confidence, faith, and their understanding of what it looks like to show up for others. Expect meaningful service, great conversations, new perspectives, and a week that challenges you to see both the world, and yourself, differently.

Asheville is the setting.

Join us for a joyful evening of food, laughter, and community as our high school youth host a Dinner Theater Fundraiser to support their upcoming mission trip.

This summer, more than 50 of our students will travel to Asheville, North Carolina, where they will serve alongside
Service Learning Camps and participate in meaningful work to support local communities. This special evening is one way we come together as a church family to help send them out in service.

Guests will enjoy a delicious dinner served by our youth, along with entertainment provided by the students themselves — including music, skits, and storytelling that reflect their excitement and hopes for the trip ahead.
Come enjoy a wonderful evening together while supporting the next generation of servants and leaders in our church.

Tickets: $30 per person; you can signup online
Reservation deadline: April 17

Time: 6-8pm

Childcare: We offer childcare and a pizza dinner for ages birth - 4th grade. *Since the kids won't be joining the main dinner, we’ve waived the $30 fee for them. However, to help us cover the cost of the pizza dinner, activities, and our wonderful sitters for our kiddos, we will have a FREEWILL OFFERING jar/bucket available at each childcare check-in station (during the event).
