The Office of Faith & Practice
Missions
At Eastern we offer six to ten school sponsored short term mission trips annually. All trips are student led and are self-supporting. We partner with hosting agencies and churches, while valuing long term partnerships, approaches that encompass evangelism and justice ministry, and of course safety and preparation. These trips are an exceptional opportunity for students and faculty to engage in cross cultural ministry and service. Students grow significantly in leadership as well. Special events include an annual three day Missions Forum in October featuring a special speaker and missions agencies on campus.
