Mission Trips

Faith in Action: Serving Near and Far

A cornerstone ministry of Senior Pilgrim Fellowship, our high school youth group, is the annual mission trip. For more than 17 years these trips have taken our youth beyond Milford to serve neighbors in need, respond to disasters, and strengthen communities. Along the way, they have also shaped the lives of our youth, many of whom return as advisors or pursue lives of service and leadership.

Mission trips are about more than the work. They are about faith in action, friendships formed, and discovering how God calls us to live with compassion, justice, and hope.

Previous Trips

Over the years our youth have traveled near and far to serve. From rebuilding homes after hurricanes to supporting local missions and community projects, each trip has been a chance to put faith into action, learn new skills, and grow closer as a community. These experiences have shaped both the places we served and the young people who participated, leaving a lasting impact of compassion and hope.
