Our leisure trips are trips that do not require any work once you are there. These trips are predominantly tours such as to the Holy Land. These trips sometimes require a lot of walking. 

Beginner trips are great for the whole family and often times do not require excess labor. These trips are great for first time mission trips and have options for your youngest family member to your oldest. 

Our advanced trips have more labor and physical demands. If you have never been on a mission trip before this may be challenging. We recommend all who go on an advanced trip to check out a beginner trip first. 

At Kentucky Changers, 7th - 12th grade students will provide quality repair and maintenance services to people who need some assistance as an expression of Christian service. 

Serve alongside our NAMB Church Plant in Loveland, CO. Weekend trips are based on the needs of the Church Plant. If you are interested in leading a weekend trip please connect with the missions team. This is a great opportunity to serve alongside the whole family.
