TFC is looking for 12 teens to minister at several nonprofit organizations over the course of a week. This trip is meant to be a sampler of volunteer options near home where teens could continue to minister. We will stay at TFC during the week and transport to and from volunteer locations. Here is a list of some of the places we have served:  
Children’s Vision International, Feed My Starving Children, Union Gospel Mission, Sparrow’s  Nest, Gathering Place, Bridging, God Town, Ronald McDonald House, Second Harvest Heartland & Teens For Christ.  
-Must be 14+ years old with a heart to serve.  
-These trips are designed to help teens serve our community, grow in the Lord, and to seek God’s working in and through us!
Please Note: The Serve Week date has been changed to June 23rd-27th.
Cost: $150

In 2015, TFC started bringing groups of teens to Belize to start and grow a youth Bible quiz league.  Each summer TFC sends one to three small mission teams to help grow the Bible quizzing program.  
More on this to come. 

Each year during spring break for schools, TFC offers a mission trip to a Bible camp. Much of the week is used to clean, fix, and build things for the coming camp year. This year, the trip is to Living Word Bible Camp in Grand Rapids, MN. Living Word has been holding camps since 1973. Living Word’s mission is:  “To present the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Christ-centered principles of living to children, young people, and adults while providing a meaningful and affordable camp experience in a beautiful setting, reflective of God's beauty and goodness to us.”
