WHAT IS YSP?

Youth Service Project (YSP) is a week-long mission trip for youth (current 9-12th graders) and adults. Students going on the trip are not required to be accompanied by their parents. During the week, we will partner with an organization to work at sites in the area. These can include working on roofs, building houses, painting, and renovations, or other building projects. We often will stay in local churches during the week and have meals provided by our food manager. YSP is a time for us to grow closer to God through worship, devotional time, prayer, and fellowship with our fellow members. It is more than the hammer and nail; it’s about breaking bread and coming together as a community. It is our goal to help one family at a time, how they are and where they are, and form lasting relationships with each place we serve. Lastly, while traveling we will schedule times to sightsee and have fun activities planned!
