GO Trips
Global Outreach Trips [GO Trips] offer Calvary members unique short-term missions experiences, usually lasting ten days to two weeks. Frequently, Calvary GO Trips support one of our missionaries in the field.
GO Trips are open to everyone, including students, young adults, families, and seniors. They provide a life-changing opportunity to get involved in missions work and share the Gospel with people in another culture.
If you have questions about your GO Trip application, the status of trips, or related details, please contact Sandy O’Donovan, Missions Coordinator, at 704.341.5323 or sodonovan@calvarychurch.com.
