Youth Groups
Youth Groups
Exposure to the global church can have a lifelong impact on a young person’s faith. Merge offers ways to participate in what God is doing through global partners and challenges youth to live a more passionate life for Christ when they return home.
If this is your first trip with Merge, we recommend Merge Invite trips. These are the easiest options for youth pastors as there is less to plan and prepare. Once you arrive at your destination, the Merge staff will take care of everything for you.
If you have a larger team (15 or more), have specific dates for your trip that don’t intersect with a pre-planned Merge Invite trip, want to be a part of the planning process of the trip, or have creative and unique ideas for your trip, then consider going on a Merge Design trip.
If you would like your students to engage in intercultural conversations throughout the year or are unable to physically take a team on a trip for various reasons, then Merge Connect is for you. We can organize and implement three one-hour virtual conversations between your youth group and a global church youth group.
