Short Term Global Ministry Trips

One of the unique aspects about our approach to global ministry is that we want many people from PCC to have the opportunity to serve on a short-term team. Each year PCC organizes several international trips to partner with our long-term workers and support their ongoing ministries. Spending a few weeks in another country will expand your understanding of God's heart for the world and open your eyes in new ways to the hope and restoration the Gospel brings.

2023 Short Term Trip Overview

Recommendations must be filled out by at least two different people not related to you. Contact team leaders for specific details about their trip.  For more information on each trip and for required resources to apply, scroll down. (Exact trip dates and costs may be adjusted as teams are formed and arrangements are finalized.)
