What Are Surf Serve and Share Mission Trips?

Surf, Serve, & Share mission trips are not only an opportunity to go on some epic adventures in the ocean and wilderness, but also serve a city and experience the greatness of the love and life of JESUS. These trips take place in Santa Cruz, California. A place filled with the beauty of God’s creation that is a short drive from the heart of a city full of people searching for love and life in all the wrong places.

During this week participants will get to serve and make a real difference in the community of Santa Cruz through service projects and homeless outreach. This experience will give participants a perspective for sharing the Gospel, a passion for reaching the lost, as well as remind students of the power available to them because of the resurrection of Jesus! The week will culminate in a send off as participants will leave back into their own communities with a perspective of what it looks like to live in the fullness of life that Jesus offers each and every one of us!
