Beyond our monthly opportunities for students to serve around the Church, students have the opportunity to go on our annual YouthMissions Trip. It is important for our students to have the opportunity to put their faith into action, serving a community and creating an impact through hard work and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Throughout the year, students are provided many opportunities to join the Church in fundraising for their missions trip through fun events like bake sales, babysitting, and more!
