Brownwood, Texas

Lake Brownwood Rural Poverty Relief is a CONNECT TRIP appropriate for youth grades 6-12, college groups, and intergenrational groups. 

Dates and More Details Coming Soon!

Groups will learn to put faith into action through service and justice in ways that are relational, sustainable and dignity-affirming. Groups will work with and learn from a variety of organizations and people with whom we partner year round. Each day includes a morning gathering with a biblical reflection and videos to learn more about poverty relief and the effects of poverty, and about the partner organizations for the day, hands-on activities with non-profits, connect time and free time. Connect time is our justice based curriculum that will help your group connect what you are doing on your trip with how you will put your faith into action in new ways when you return home.

Cost is $70 per person per night and includes: 

• Breakfast and Lunch, Monday morning through Friday morning. (Dinners on your own.) 
• Lodging in a local church. 
• A dedicated Site-Coordinator & trained young adult staff to facilitate your week. 
• Fully planned service and educational experiences. 
• Honorariums for speakers, costs for activities, entrance fees. 
• A t-shirt for each participant. 

Note that your group is responsible for transportation during the week.
