We have worked on this dream for over twenty-five years, starting with the Buddy program for children and students and expanding support through Access Ministries, promoting spiritual growth for members as they age out of their student programming. Access Ministries also offers educational programming, lessons for young adults, and weekly sermons during the service, including peer support. - Tasha Mitchell, Director of Communications
The weekend mission trip in Philadelphia is December 8-10, 2023. We aim to provide a safe and comfortable environment for participants to grow in their faith and serve others through manual labor, spiritual growth, and community engagement.
