2026 High School Mission Trip

July 11–18, 2026

This summer, FPCE high school students will partner with First United Methodist Church (FUMC) of Evanston to serve through Appalachia Service Project (ASP). ASP is a Christian ministry that organizes volunteer groups to repair and rebuild homes in the Appalachian region—making homes safer, warmer, and drier for families in need.

Students will spend a week working on home repair projects, building relationships, and growing in faith through hands-on service.

Our 2026 combined FPCE/FUMC team currently includes 45 youth and 22 adult leaders.

Registration deadline: March 1.
After March 1, students will be placed on a waitlist until ASP confirms space availability. Final placement decisions will be made by May 1.

Required Training Dates

  • June 7 – Mandatory hands-on tool training
