his exciting opportunity is designed for young people ages 14–18 from our RBA churches to come together for three days of Christian service, educational enrichment, fellowship, and fun. We believe this experience will provide meaningful opportunities for our youth to grow in their faith, build relationships, explore educational opportunities, and develop a greater appreciation for African American history and culture.

Mission Trip Highlights:

• Tuesday, July 6 – Mission and Service: Our youth will partner with a youth group from a Richmond-area church for a day of service and fellowship.

• Wednesday, July 7 – Education and Cultural Enrichment: Participants will tour Virginia Union University, visit the Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia, and experience a historical tour of Richmond through an African American lens.

• Thursday, July 8 – Fellowship and Fun: The trip will conclude with an exciting day at Kings Dominion amusement park.
