Middle School Mission Trip 2026

Middle School Mission Trip 2026

06.28 - 07.02
All
Houston, TX

We are so excited to take a group of middle schoolers on a mission trip AGAIn this summer! 

Ridge Students is partnering with Global Gates to complete a short-term mission trip in Houston. This trip will introduce students to the concept of God’s heart for the nations, and bringing the gospel to unreached people groups with a concentrated time of evangelism training and exposure to world religions. Students will also engage with the community to pray for the lost and spread the gospel.

We are finalizing the trip dates and cost. In addition to the summer trip, there will be monthly training to prepare for the mission trip beginning in April. Students in grades 6-8 (2025-2026 school year) are encouraged to apply! For further information, check out these Houston MS Mission Trip FAQs.


Applications coming soon!

    JP serves as the Middle School Director for Austin Ridge Southwest. He moved to Austin from Houston in 2012 and graduated from Concordia University Texas. He served in a Student Ministry role at the Bee Cave campus for five years and is back for more. His desire is for the youth to find their identity in Jesus now rather than later so they can be a force in their schools and respective communities. In his free time, he enjoys making pancakes, bowling, taking walks, and, recently, putt-putt.

    Madi is originally from Colorado and made the move to Austin in May 2025 after graduating from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. She grew up surrounded by mountains, snow, and hockey (Go Avs!), but has quickly fallen in love with all things Austin—especially the sunshine, community, and coffee shops. Madi always has a book in hand, a coffee nearby, and a heart for helping others feel known, loved, and valued. She’s thankful to be a part of what God is doing here and excited to see how He continues to move in and through this city!
