Go Trips

Go and show God’s love around the world

Every believer is called to go and show God’s love, whether to a neighbor across the street or to someone on the other side of the world. Our Go Trips are one of the ways you can get involved in what God is doing far beyond the walls of our church. Whether you want to go serve in another country and culture or make a difference right here in the U.S., there’s a Go Trip for you.

More Than a Mission Trip

What do you think of when you hear the phrase “mission trip”? The answer to that question can vary widely, so we want you to know what our Go Trips are really about and what sets them apart from other mission trips you might be familiar with.

  • Extended Impact: On our Go Trips, you will serve alongside missionaries and ministries whom Stonebriar supports year-round, so the reach and connections formed extend far beyond the few days of the trip.
  • Training & Discipleship: As a Go Trip team member, you will receive training that will not only prepare you for the trip itself, but help you grow spiritually and equip you to live missionally in your everyday life when you return.
  • Servant-Hearted Perspective: We approach the people we meet on our Go Trips with deep respect, coming to humbly serve others as the Lord leads us.
