This summer, our students are traveling to Atlanta, Georgia for a Justice & Faith Immersion Trip with Youth Mission Co.
From June 7–12, 2026, students and leaders will spend the week learning from local organizations, serving alongside community partners, and reflecting on what it means to follow Jesus in a world longing for justice and belonging.
This is not a traditional mission trip. We are not going to fix anyone or save a city. Instead, students will practice listening, humility, and presence as they encounter the stories and communities of Atlanta.
Support the Trip:
Student Auction
To help make the trip accessible for every student, we’re hosting a Student Auction Fundraiser Again!
Rather than simply asking for donations, students will offer their time, creativity, and skills to the City Church community.
- Examples of auction offerings may include:
- Baked goods or themed dinners
- Babysitting or tutoring
- Yard work or car washes
- Pet sitting or tech help
- Photography sessions or music lessons
Each student is working toward a fundraising goal of about $900 to help offset the cost of the trip.
Every bid helps send a student on this experience.
Trip Details
Dates: June 7–12, 2026
Location: Atlanta
Partner: Youth Mission Co
Group Size: Up to 16 students and leaders

What the Week
Will Look Like
Each day includes a rhythm of service, learning, and reflection.
Students will participate in:
- Morning and afternoon service opportunities
- Conversations with local organizations and leaders
- Civil rights and justice learning experiences
- Evening reflection with scripture, prayer, and group discussion
The goal is not productivity, but formation—helping students grow in faith, empathy, and awareness.
Why Atlanta?
Atlanta is a powerful place to explore the intersection of faith, justice, and community – as well as being a pivotal location for the Youth Director, Kaylee’s, spiritual formation and vocational discernment.
With deep connections to the Civil Rights Movement and ongoing work for justice today, Atlanta becomes a living classroom where students can learn how faith and justice connect.
