We believe God has called us to live on mission whether we are Across the Street or Around the World. We have mission partners within two miles of the church and all the way to the India/Nepal border. Currently, we support at least 10 local ministries, 3 national ministry locations (Salt Lake City, UT, Eutaw, AL, and Boston, MA), and overseas work in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Grand Bahama Island, India, and Israel, with more to come.

Absolutely, and many do! Different projects have different guidelines for participation. Many of our local projects are a great place to take a first step toward exploring Christianity, while some are best suited for thoroughly trained and experienced Bible teachers. Our application process will help you figure out which is best for you.

You’re who we’re looking for! While we welcome veteran participants, we CELEBRATE those first timers who bring their skills, training, and fresh heart to the field.

Trip costs can vary from $3,000 or more for a project in India or Israel to completely free for a project in town. A project in Mexico or the Dominican Republic is less than $1,400, and some domestic trips are well under $1,000. Remember, whether the project cost is high or low, the value of your serving is always immeasurable.

We have limited funds for college students serving with New Vision or New Vision mission partners. If you are a college student or high school senior, please contact the Missions Office for more information regarding partial scholarships.

We also provide helpful guidelines for raising funds and will help you keep track of your progress. We’ve seen project participants raise more than they needed, allowing them to help others meet their project goals.

New Vision serves as a conduit for project finances by channeling the necessary funds to the appropriate mission organizations and budget lines. As such, it is vitally important that we collect the full amount for every project from each participant prior to departure.

If vaccines or boosters are required, the project leader will notify participants well in advance of the trip. Construction projects require current tetanus boosters. COVID-19 vaccine requirements are dependent on the country served and current CDC and US State Department guidelines. These will be identified for each project. Additional costs associated with COVID-19 quarantines or treatments vary by country and vaccination status. Your team leader or a member of the Missions Ministry staff will address these at registration for each project..
