Get Involved In Short Term Missions

Our latest short term missions trip was in December 2012, to the “Agape” Aid Center in Ukraine. For the last four years Coastal Church has partnered with “Agape” Aid Center by sending a missions team to the Ukraine to participate in different activities that would minister to children in two orphanages. The Center organizes Winter Camps for Ukrainian orphans during the winter holidays. Through their various camp activities, they give these children a safe place to be during their winter school break as an alternative to being in the streets. More importantly, they provide an opportunity for these children to hear about the love of Christ.
