MISSION TEAM OPPORTUNITIES

SENDING DISCIPLES. CHANGING LIVES.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live, serve, and worship alongside Orthodox Christians from another country? Have you ever wanted to make a difference in the world? Orthodox Mission Teams have helped thousands of faithful just like you to teach, minister to youth, build schools and churches, offer healthcare and more. Teams vary in length and are sent throughout the year. Prayerfully consider joining a team.

Below, you will find the current list of available teams, which now includes opportunities from other Orthodox agencies and partners with whom the Mission Center collaborates to advance Christ’s Great Commission.

May the Lord guide us to proclaim His name to All Nations so that everyone may come to know the saving love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
