EXPERIENCE ISRAEL
First-Century Youth Ministry is partnering with “Walk the Story" for a youth workers only trip to the land of Israel the fall of 2025. This trip will be like no other, walking the land of the Bible as if we were a first-century disciple. This is by no means a trip to Israel, this is an all-out discipleship experience that will grow your faith and make you a better 21st-century disciple maker.

“My world was quickly turned upside down upon arriving in Israel. My fellow participants and I opened the Scriptures together, hiked many, many miles, and were challenged to start seeing the Bible through the eyes of a first-century Jew. I couldn’t believe what I was learning. I had grown up in church all my life, but our director’s teaching was opening my eyes to see the Bible in a way I never had before. I wasn’t just studying at home or sitting in a class, I was experiencing the Bible and watching it come to life.”
