NEW ORLEANS
2026 Mission Trip
New Orleans, LA
New Orleans is a city utterly unique, a vibrant blend of French, Spanish, African, and Caribbean influences that have shaped its distinctive culture over centuries. This rich heritage is evident everywhere, from the iron-laced balconies of the French Quarter to the lively sounds of brass bands echoing through its streets. It's a place where history isn't just preserved in museums; it's a living, breathing part of daily life, particularly visible in its architecture, dialects, and the exuberant spirit of its festivals like Mardi Gras.
​
New Orleans is a testament to incredible resilience. Having faced numerous challenges throughout its history, the city and its communities have consistently demonstrated an extraordinary capacity to rebuild and reinvent. This persistence, often rooted in strong local connections and faith, allows New Orleans to embrace its past while constantly striving for a brighter future, making it an exciting place both for cultural immersion and for engaging in opportunities to contribute to its ongoing revitalization.
​
​We invite you to join us in New Orleans, LA next summer!
