MILWAUKEE, WI

expand your neighborhood in milwaukee
Milwaukee has been a hub for manufacturing, art, and different cultures for over 100 years. But it’s also full of underserved neighborhoods with families struggling to get by.

Through our local partnerships, students will see first-hand how the church is tangibly responding to these needs.

From an urban farm to a rescue mission, students will serve in a variety of local ministries while learning how Christians are embracing their communities.

Your students will also get opportunities to kayak the Milwaukee River, hike through the Kettle Moraine State Forest, or dive into Lake Michigan.

Why we love serving jesus in this neighborhood
Our ministry partners in Milwaukee are on a mission to feed the hungry (Matt 25:35). We love that our teams can support their urban farming initiatives.
Safety: low-contact trips
Safety is our number one priority. Throughout Summer 2020, our team led low-contact mission trips across the country. By making several adjustments to our programming, we allowed teams to serve while staying safe.
