  • Mission: Jersey 2020 Postponed... 

    Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and safety concerns, it is necessary to postpose our Summer Mission trip, Mission: Jersey. 

    We are very disappointed, but the safety of our participants and those we serve is our highest priority. We hope to have an alternate Mission: Jersey experience sometime in the coming year, if we can do so safely.
