Global Missions
God’s mission has a church! We all have the opportunity to participate in this great mission that Christ calls us to. Every year, teams of volunteers from Christ Place travel around the world to help meet physical and spiritual needs and share the love of Jesus Christ. We send teams to help build churches, provide medical outreaches, reach children through outreaches and more.
GLOBAL TEAMS
Ecuador Mission Trip
We are sending a team to work in Ecuador with missionaries, Joil and Leah Marbut. The main focus will be breaking ground on a new church plant, but we will also do some children’s evangelism. We will need various skill sets and willing hands and hearts to serve and love the local, national, and church planting team. The team will be led by Pastor Johnathan Reynolds.
To be considered for the team, you must apply by filling out our online application. After you have been accepted for the team, there will be three required team meetings leading up to the trip. Each team member will be responsible for the full cost of the trip, which is expected to be $2,900, but may change once flights are officially booked. We will follow all CDC regulations for the United States and Ecuador regarding vaccinations and travel requirements. Everyone will need a passport that is valid for at least up to six months after our return.
DATE:
June 4 – 11, 2023

Local Missions
We exist to be a light to our city for more people to know His name. We serve our city through special outreaches and events to let them know that Christ Place exists for those who aren’t here yet! We have a specific calling to reach families and children at risk – you will find multiple opportunities to serve through partnerships with local ministries.
LOCAL TEAMS
Royal Family Kids Camp
Royal Family Kids Camp is a five-day camp (Monday-Friday) for kids ages 6-12 who have experienced the foster care system. The week is designed to give each camper full attention, create positive memories, and for them to feel the love of Christ. You can be matched with two campers as a camp counselor or assigned to help run camp activities as a camp staff member. No matter your role, giving your time and energy will make a huge impact in the life of an at-risk child. You can learn more by clicking HERE.
DATES:
July 16 – 21

Teen Reach Adventure Camp
Teen Reach Adventure Camp is a three-day camp (Friday-Sunday) for youth ages 13-16 who have experienced the foster care system. Throughout a weekend, teens build healthy relationships with peers and adults, create positive memories through experiences they wouldn’t usually have, and receive a sense of hope for their future! This is possible through our challenge course program, custom curriculum, and low camper to counselor ratio (2:1).
It takes a variety of adults and skillsets to make two separate gender-specific camps happen each summer. You can help bring hope to youth in foster care by serving at Teen Reach Adventure Camp this summer. Learn more about Teen Reach Lincoln by going to www.teenreachlincoln.org.
DATES:
Girls Camp: June 22 – 25
Boys Camp: July 27 – 30

Compassions Response Team
The Compassion Response Team is the first group of people we reach out to when there is an opportunity to serve people within our church or city. This team is ready to respond to specialized requests that may vary from calling to check on the elderly, delivering groceries, serving with a local ministry partner, or any other opportunity we have to serve and love people. Will you join us in compassionately loving and serving our church and city?

Vision Builders CarePortal Team
CarePortal is a technology-connecting platform where churches are made aware of the real-time needs of families in our city through a partnership with our state caseworkers. Caseworkers determine the critical family needs and then the church (God’s people!) responds to the needs to help keep families together. You can see some of the current needs by going to our Vision Builders Care Portal Home Page.
