Service Adventure Details
Want to make a difference with your life but not sure how to do it? If you've got more questions than answers, it may be time for a new challenge and a fresh perspective. Service Adventure participants take a break from the beaten path to serve others, build supportive relationships and live in community under the direction of a unit leader. Most importantly, they give themselves time to see what God wants from their lives.

Anchorage Adventure Members of the Anchorage Service Adventure unit learn, worship, enjoy Alaska's diverse terrain and connect with local congregations as they serve their community.

Service Adventure Opportunities
Service Adventure participants have served in medical clinics, tutored children, worked with senior citizens, repaired old housing, and helped meet the needs of poor people across North America. They've also visited new cities; experienced different people, foods and cultures; climbed mountains and camped in deserts; attended concerts, lectures and college events. The most memorable experiences often occur in the quiet moments: a conversation with a housemate, a friendship with a small child, working alongside other Christians, getting involved in a new congregation, or being alone with God.

Service Adventure Feedback
"I have been stretched in so many ways this year that I don’t think that I would even recognize the person that I was before I came here" – Albuquerque, New Mexico

"This year has humbled me in a way that I never thought possible, and in a way that I think I really needed. I feel that my values and the things that I want to accomplish in my life are now in much sharper focus, even if sometimes I feel like I am farther away from attaining them than ever before." – Albuquerque, New Mexico

"I had a great year in Raleigh and I’m so grateful for the possibility to do Service Adventure. I think it is a great program and I learned a lot about myself, my relationship with God and what it means to serve God by serving other people." – Raleigh, North Carolina
