UPCOMING MISSION TRIPS

PLEASE NOTE: 

All participants must have a valid U.S. passport that extends at least 90 days beyond the return date of the trip. Completion of CCL’s Connections Class is required. In general, we aim to build teams from those who are already actively and faithfully serving within a ministry at Calvary Chapel Lynchburg. While not mandatory, a recommendation from a CCL pastor, ministry leader, or home fellowship leader is strongly encouraged. It’s also helpful for applicants to have spiritual and practical giftings suited to the specific trip—such as teaching, evangelism, worship, personal ministry, helps, or mercy. Finally, participants should be physically able to manage the demands of international travel and the long days of ministry that often come with it.
