Mission Trips

Serving on a mission trip, whether in the U.S. or across the globe, can be a life-changing experience for you and those you serve. We are able to impact lives as we spread God’s word and love to those in others parts of the world through building projects, Vacation Bible School, medical services and more. From youth mission trips in the southeast to adult international trips, mission trips help each person enrich the lives of others with God's work, while also helping bring Christ into your own life in ways you didn't know possible.

Global Mission Trips

DUMC’s international mission program allows you to experience the world in a new and very meaningful way by serving others with basic needs. Members of our adult mission teams find a common bond in service and form new, lasting friendships during the trip. Trips are announced in January for the coming summer, with an open house and informational meeting held in February. For more information about international missions at DUMC, please visit our Facebook page.

Guatemala Adult Mission Trip

A DUMC mission team goes to Guatemala each summer to serve Project Salud y Paz, a nonprofit with three medical clinics and an early education center. The Susanna Wesley School provides education, nutrition, and medical care for more than 50 children preschool through first grade. Salud y Paz is a joint project of International Hands in Service (a U.S. based 501c3 non-profit organization), the Iglesia Metodista Nacional Primitiva de Guatemala and the United Methodist Church in the United States. An informational meeting is held in February to help plan for trip that includes construction, medical services and Vacation Bible School.

Puerto Rico Family Mission Trip

This summer “family friendly” mission trip allows parents to bring children eight years old and older. Our team will assist with hurricane relief efforts through age-appropriate job sites that allow families to work together. We are partnering with Praying Pelican Missions, a 15-year-old organization that connects local churches with needs around the world.

Youth Mission Trips

DUMC’s youth enjoy several opportunities each summer to serve others through mission trips. Each year, the destination and itinerary change, although past trips have included the western U.S., the Appalachians and the Bahamas. Our students and adult chaperones perform meaningful service, including construction, Vacation Bible School, landscaping, organization and more. These trips allow the youth and their adult leaders to find common ground as they proclaim God’s love to those they serve. Contact Dallas Pfeiffer at dallas.pfeiffer@dunwoodyumc.org.

In the summer, our middle school youth serves at Mountain T.O.P. in middle Tennessee. Adult volunteers also are needed to chaperone the trip.
