MISSION TRIPS
Participate in a mission trip for a few days and experience Urban Impact and the concept of urban ministry. Join us and experience the North Side.
On a short-term missions trip to the North Side, you will have the opportunity to serve with one of our many outreach programs, assist in our numerous construction and renovation needs, and learn how God has been moving here from the very beginning of Urban Impact. You will also experience missionary training in order to serve effectively in an urban setting, including prayer walking in our community. Our hope and prayer is that teams would walk away with a sense of urgency to fulfill Christ’s Great Commission with real, practical tools to serve in their own community and beyond.

TESTIMONIAL
“Called to Serve was an amazing opportunity for our students to get an authentic discipleship experience from a ministry that has been making disciples who make disciples for over 25 years in the city of Pittsburgh. Our students were afforded the opportunity to serve alongside Urban Impact leaders in a missional way during the day, while also getting quality discipleship training in the afternoons. This combination of hands-on experience and quality teaching has equipped our students to be on mission for Christ in their schools, homes, and cities for years to come. We look forward to this being a staple event for our student ministry every year.”
– Justin, Trip Leader
