2026 CrossRoads - New Orleans
New Orleans, LA - June 2026
Southeast Christian Church is heading to New Orleans for a weeklong mission trip with CrossRoads Missions NOLA, where the focus is on serving in ways that create lasting impact. With a team of up to 30 people—middle school students through adults—we’ll come alongside local partners to help with projects they couldn’t tackle on their own. From updating and maintaining buildings for churches, community centers, and ministries, to partnering with the New Orleans Mission in their weekly outreach to the homeless, every project is rooted in the real, current needs of the city. This trip is more than just a week of service—it’s about strengthening local ministries, showing Christ’s love in tangible ways, and ensuring that short-term mission work leaves a long-term legacy.
There are a few requirements to attend this trip.
1. Complete a Southeast Volunteer Application sent to you by Short-Term Missions.
2. Complete the online MinistrySafe training supplied by Short-Term Missions via email link.
3. All trips require a deposit, which is non-refundable. The IRS considers all monies going towards a mission trip as a charitable donation. To comply with IRS guidelines, we are unable to refund any monies submitted.
4. Once registration opens, you may begin fundraising. Please be aware, at no time are donations refundable. They are considered charitable contributions by the IRS, and as such, can not be refunded.
