Mission Trips

In keeping with Christ's commandments to love God and neighbor, the Christian Leadership Center and the Chaplain's office are committed to promote bridge-building opportunities through missions hoping to find a common ground in loving one another. Three mission trips will be offered during the 2007-2008 academic year.

Join us for mission trips to help those in need. Our last four trips have been focused on working with Hurricane recovery in the New Orleans area. We will continue working in New Orleans during the Fall Break and offer new mission opportunities for Spring and Summer. Mission trips are sponsored by the Christian Leadership Center and the Chaplain's Office. Mission trips are open to all friends and members of the Centenary community.
