2026 Application

At Island Christian Church, our mission is to equip people to seek Jesus and find connection, purpose, and peace. As part of this, we are sending our students out on the mission field to find their purpose in Christ.

There are two trips this year. One is a domestic trip to Kentucky for students entering 8th - graduating 12th and the other is an international trip to Nicaragua for students entering 9th - graduating 12th.
