WHAT
One of the things that we really took away from the LA Mission last summer is that we wanted to be more intentional about serving and being present in our community as an example of Jesus.
We will have a retreat element as we stay overnight at a campground for the first two days! We will spend time in the Canmore area (Bow Valley Provincial Campground) and we will be doing teachings on spiritual formation!
We will come back on the Tuesday to stay at CFG and participate in a number of outreach activities. We will be partnering with:
The Calgary Dream Center
Glammorgan Care Centre
Calgary Food Bank
And other organizations!
There will also be fun elements throughout the week! We cannot wait to serve our community in this way.
GOAL
Our goal is to help our students make their faith their own and grow in their personal walk with Jesus. We believe one of the best ways to grow in our faith is to put it into action. One of the biggest commonalities of young adults who keep their faith into their university years is that they participated in some sort of mission or camp as a youth or child. Therefore, we want to prioritize creating these opportunities for our students to step out in their faith and to experience discipleship outside of day-to-day life. Additionally, we know that trips like this help build Godly friendships and community in our youth group that help sustain students and teaches them the value of church.
LEADERSHIP
This team will be led by vetted CFG youth leaders and youth pastors, including Sarah Sinanan and Nicolas Pacchiano. Combined, they have over 20 years of youth-leading experience. Nick and Sarah have led four different missions together! Ariel Tanyi, Zoey Tanyi, Kayla Gujilde, and other CFG youth leaders will be joining as well and have lots of missions experience!
DETAILS
We will be staying at Bow Valley Provincial Campground and then at CFG Church. For transportation, we will drive together in rented minivans. Camping supplies (including tents) will be provided, but sleeping bags and air mattresses are required for students to bring along. The campground will have shower facilities and food will be provided for the students for the duration of the trip. All costs, other than spending money, will be covered by the fee for the mission trip.

FAQ
Q: What do the students need to bring?
A: A packing list will be provided for the students at least one month before the beginning of the mission trip!
Q: How is the campground?
A: We are staying at a family-friendly and safe campground. The boys and girls will have separate campsites that are supervised by leaders. We will ensure all valuables are stored safely in the vehicles.
Q: Will my child(ren) be safe doing outreach and participating in ministry to people experiencing homelessness?
A: Under NO circumstances will the youth be walking around unattended. We are partnering with other ministries that are consistently working in these areas and we will ensure that students are always paired with our leaders alongside local leaders during outreach.
If you have any other questions feel free to call Sarah or email her at any time. We love and care about your children and want to ensure that they are safe and give them the opportunity to grow in their faith. We want parents to feel comfortable knowing the youth are safe and cared for so please reach out with any questions! We are so excited to see what the Lord does in the lives of the students. Thanks and God Bless!
