Since 2012, we have taken a team of high school students to serve in Costa Rica. Through a partnership with a Vineyard church, La Viña, students have done street outreaches, served the local church, and grown in their relationship with Jesus. Through this partnership, we have started taking adult trips as well. The first one was in the summer of 2016. 

December 2012 - January 2013

On our first student mission trip, a team of 18 students and leaders traveled to Costa Rica. Over the course of the week, students painted, cleaned up trash, hosted a concert, and much more.

Our second student team looked similar to our first but built on the La Viña's ministry. Over the course of the week, students helped build a new roof, paint the La Viña's new building, do street ministry, and host an outreach concert.
