Serve on a Mission Trip

Mission trips with CBM are opportunities to come alongside long-term missionaries, serve children and youth through gospel ministry, and take a meaningful step of obedience. Whether you're going individually or bringing your whole church, there's a place for you.

Who Can Serve

  • Come with a servant's heart, prepared to serve in whatever capacity is needed
  • Be 14 years of age or older (younger participants welcomed as part of a family team)

Groups are welcome, and churches are encouraged to bring teams. If you're bringing a group, please reach out early to allow time for coordination with our missionary teams.
