Through international missions, we live out our purpose to "go" and share the Gospel. We do that by partnering with missionaries, national churches, and organizations. We also send teams from Blue Ridge to support those sharing Jesus in places where God has called us to serve.
If you would like to receive information on these trips, please email missions@blueridge.org and let us know which trip(s) interest you. If you know which trip you would like to attend, please fill out an application now.
*Additional trips to Puerto Rico are in the works and will be added soon.
