I HAVE A DREAM 2025: SERVING IN ATLANTA
May 24-28, 2025 | $1200 (Includes airfare, lodging & meals)
God calls us to love, serve, and uplift one another, and this May, you have the chance to do just that. Join us for our 2nd annual mission trip to Atlanta, Georgia, where we’ll partner with our brothers and sisters at New Life Covenant Church to serve their community meaningfully.
This isn’t just a trip—it’s an opportunity to be Jesus' hands and feet, building hope and strengthening lives through hard work, heartfelt service, and genuine connection.
Why Go?
We are called to change the world by standing with others in their struggles and celebrating God’s love in action. As part of this mission trip, you’ll get to:

- Retaining Wall Repair – Strengthening the foundation of key areas to provide safety and longevity.
- More to Come – Stay tuned for additional ways we’ll be making an impact!
This mission trip is about more than just construction—it’s about building something bigger than ourselves. It’s about standing in solidarity with another church family, serving with love, and seeing the power of God’s work through His people.
Join Us & Be a Part of the Dream!
We invite you to step out in faith, serve purposefully, and experience a deeper connection to God and His people. Whether you’ve been on a mission trip before or this is your first time, this journey will change you in ways you can’t imagine.
