This summer, our students are heading to Atlanta for a week centered on justice, faith, and meaningful connection. In partnership with Youth Mission Co, this experience is designed to help students engage deeply with both their faith and the world around them.
From June 6–12, 2026, our group will step into the life of the city—building relationships with local organizations, serving alongside community leaders, and exploring what it looks like to live out faith in real and tangible ways.
Support the Trip by Bidding in Our Student Auction!
Support the Trip:
Student Auction
To help make the trip accessible for every student, we’re bringing back our Student Auction Fundraiser!
Instead of simply asking for donations, students are inviting the City Church community to engage in a more personal and fun way—by sharing their gifts, skills, and creativity.
Auction offerings may include:
- Homemade baked goods or themed dinners
- Babysitting or tutoring sessions
- Yard work or car washes
- Pet sitting or tech support
- Photography sessions or music lessons
Each student is working toward a fundraising goal of around $900 to help cover trip costs.
Every bid directly supports a student’s journey.
If you’d prefer to give directly instead of participating in the auction, click here to make a donation—every gift, big or small, helps make this experience possible.
Trip Details

Partner: Youth Mission Co
Group Size: Up to 16 students and leaders

What the Week
Will Look Like
Each day follows a thoughtful rhythm that blends action with reflection.
Throughout the week, students will engage in:
- Hands-on service opportunities throughout the day
- Conversations with local leaders and organizations
- Experiences focused on justice, history, and community impact
- Evening gatherings centered on scripture, prayer, and honest discussion
This isn’t about checking boxes—it’s about transformation. The hope is that students leave with a deeper faith, a broader perspective, and a stronger sense of compassion.
Why Atlanta?
Atlanta offers a unique and powerful setting to explore how faith and justice intersect in everyday life. With its deep roots in the Civil Rights Movement and its ongoing work toward equity and restoration, the city provides a meaningful backdrop for learning and growth.
It’s also a place that has personally shaped our Youth Director, Kaylee, in her own journey of faith and calling—making this trip not just impactful, but deeply intentional.
