MISSION TRIPS & TEAMS
Each year Cypress sends out teams of teenagers and/or adults to serve others - both here in the United States and in other countries around the globe. Teams may serve for only a weekend or perhaps as long as two weeks. Participating as part of a short-term mission team is a life-changing experience. It allows one the opportunity to step away from normal everyday activities to a place where one's entire focus is on serving God through serving others. Our hearts, minds, ears and eyes become more finely tuned to perceive the presence of God and to discern His will. Trips that are in the works...

- Be a follower of Christ
- Be willing to operate as a team
- Be committed to cover one's financial obligation
- Be committed to attend ALL scheduled team meetings, fundraiser, and other events
