SHORT-TERM TRIPS

From the earliest years of Christ Church, we have sent members of our church family to the nations.

Be in prayer as we build short-term teams. If you are not able to go this ministry year, look for ways to pray for, encourage, and give so that others from our church family can be sent.

Contact us at missions@christaz.org if you have questions.

We are a church to the nations.

2026 Mission Trips

August 28–September 15

Peoria Congregation Only

Join us as we serve our partner churches in Chontales, Nicaragua.
We partner with six churches across Nicaragua to help plant and strengthen new churches. This team will travel to the region of Chontales to serve alongside two established churches and a mission post where a new gospel work is being pioneered. It is a rural agricultural region, and many ministry efforts there focus on small communities and villages outside the main town.

The team will stay in Santo Tomás and San Pedro de Lóvago, walking alongside local church leaders as they continue to reach their communities. Together, we will help complete key work projects, train leaders, equip youth and young adults, and share the gospel through house-to-house evangelism.

Cost: Flight + $1,550
Focus: Construction, Outreach, Evangelism
Trip Leader: Shawn Carney
Application Deadline: April 17

FAQs

  • Trips are open to any believer who regularly attends the Christ Church congregation offering the trips and who can commit to the participant agreement and funding guidelines for each trip.

  • Fill out the short-term missions trip application and we will connect with you. Once confirmed for the trip, you’ll raise funds, if necessary, to cover the cost of your trip (support donated by friends and family on your behalf is a tax-deductible donation to Christ Church).

  • Lodging, in-country transportation, and in-country food. A portion of the funds also helps support team project efforts.

  • We’d love to have you apply. Filling out the application doesn’t obligate you to go on the trip, it just allows us to know that you’re interested and start the conversation.

  • You’ll be contacted by our global missions team to discuss trip details, define your interest in joining the team, and confirm that you will be part of the trip.
