Kansas City, MO
expand your neighborhood in kansas city
Kansas City is a hub for entertainment, great food, and a thriving sports culture. But almost 20% of its residents live below the poverty line.
Through local partnerships, your students will learn how the church is responding to end the cycle of poverty in very real ways.
Your team will serve in a variety of local ministries, ranging from a kids’ outreach ministry to a rescue mission.
Students will also get the opportunity to explore the city during our Adventure Race and take a canopy tour while completing a high ropes course.
