Mission Opportunities
Junior High Mission Trip
We take a weekend trip in the spring to a major city within a three to
four hour drive of Nashville. Our students have opportunities to do
door-to-door surveying in neighborhoods, work with inner-city children,
serve meals to the homeless, and participate in many other mission work
experiences. This is a great chance to introduce our junior high
students to missions and help them understand they really can make a
difference. The Junior High Mission trip is offered each year for
students in grades 7 and 8.
High School Mission Trip
Our High School mission trip is a weeklong mission experience in the
summer to a major U.S. city. We have been to places such as Detroit,
Chicago, Washington D.C., New York City, Philadelphia,
and Maine. This trip gives our students a broader view of what God is
doing in our country and allows them to see the opportunities of
serving as a "home" missionary. The High School Mission trip is offered
each year for students in 9th-11th grade who complete 12 hours of
training.
Senior International Mission Trip
Our Senior International trip is a two-week mission experience to an
international city. We've worked in places like Hungary, Switzerland, Italy, Brazil, Israel, Australia, Russia, Hawaii and India.
This mission trip serves as a type of "final-exam" for everything we
pray our students have learned in the Student Ministry. The entire
experience makes a life-long impact on our students. It gives them a
"world-view" of God and His work and allows them to see opportunities
for serving Him with their life. Our Senior International Mission trip
is offered each year for our graduating seniors who complete 9 months
of training.
On-going Missions
In addition to mission trips outside Nashville, we also participate in
local missions year-round. Our local mission projects are coordinated
by a team of students known as SPLASH. Splash strives to share God's
love by creating and participating in community service projects that
not only aid in people's physical needs, but also their spiritual
needs. It provides unique opportunities for our students to serve in
Nashville, each finding creative ways he or she can use his or her
spiritual gifts and be leaders in the community. SPLASH participates in
such projects as tutoring underprivileged children, "Leaf Rapture" - raking the yards of the elderly, Church-wide ministry Day, working at
Trevecca Health Care Center, running water stations at marathons in
Nashville and many other mission opportunities.
