With Amor Ministries, since 2001

The Mexico Trip

Every year, our volunteers travel to the Tijuana area to build a home with a family through Amor Ministries. We have made the trip since 2001.

The all-church trip

June, a full week

Who goes
Anyone going into third grade through adulthood, which in practice means whole families
Getting ready
An information session in the spring, then team meetings before the drive
Paying for it
Each traveler raises a share, and our Mission Committee contributes toward the trip.

The 2026 all-church trip ran June 20 to 27 in the Tijuana area. Dates for the next one come out in the spring, in This Week At PCLG.

“One of the homes had this written on the side of the house in large letters: ‘Dios vive en éste hogar.’ God lives in this home.”
