Service Trips
The Agapé Center sponsors both Domestic & International service trips. Our team works with a variety of community partners to coordinate domestic trips during academic breaks and international trips during late May/early June. Through service, we hope students will experience enriching and challenging growth, which will help to foster learning of oneself, of the needs of others and of the role that service plays in society through a lens of Christian faith.

International Service Trips
The International Service and Missions Program seeks to involve students in cross-cultural service and ministry experiences during their summer break. If you enjoy learning from other people, have a heart for service, and a desire to explore the integration of your faith and service into all of your life, we would like you to consider joining one of our International Service Trip teams!
We look for people who are:
- Flexible
- Eager to learn from others
- Exhibiting a basic understanding of service
- Willing to step outside of their comfort zones
The Agapé Center’s International Service Trip experience is designed to help you learn about yourself, your teammates, and the culture and people of your host country. Our hope is to provide students with an opportunity to broaden their perspectives of God and His work in the world.
The International Service Trips application process, personal interviews & team selections take place each fall.
