What We Do

We help you experience a city.

Living firsthand among the sights, sounds, smells, and textures of urban life is an irreplaceable experience. Our housing is located in the heart of their respective city, providing you with the opportunity to eat at local international restaurants and discover the delights of Salvadorian, Middle Eastern, Filipino, African–American, and other cuisine.

We help you learn a city.

There are unique issues and problems that each city faces. There are also unique and incredible things God is doing to foster and further His Kingdom in each city, through the indigenous organizations that operate on the front lines of urban ministry. You’ll learn what city dwellers face, and how to overcome challenging circumstances.

We help you help a city.

By offering your time, energy, and prayers, ministry sites are supported and built up to their full potential of service. You will be integrated into a variety of hands-on service opportunities to ensure that your time is spent supplying substantive help to God’s people in the city.

NEXT STEPS

Interested in serving with CSM? Learn more about the steps involved, from gathering information to registering for a trip.

  • Due to the volume of registrations we receive per day, we cannot provide an online calendar of availability for each city.

    Choose a serving group size and explore which dates work best for your team.

    Additionally, CSM will utilize the "Theology Together 2.0" curriculum developed by CYMT, incorporating a strong foundation of theology discussion, exploration, and training in all trips.

  • If you haven't served with us before, please create an account by clicking the button below. For those with an existing account, log in and click on the “Register a New Trip” button to complete your registration.

    Please note that we cannot guarantee or reserve any dates until you have finished the registration process and made a deposit. The deposit, due upon registration, will be 20% of the total cost per person. Registration is free of charge. Ensure you complete the registration and submit the deposit at least 45 days before the trip's start date.

  • Congratulations! You're all registered. Now, let's get your students excited.

    You should have received a trip confirmation email from our Home Office. In this email, you will find a packet with city-specific details and on-site contact information. Additionally, the email contains the password to access the Group Leader Resources page, where you'll find helpful resources to prepare for your upcoming trip.

  • Payments - After your deposit is made, we split your remaining balance into 2 equal payments. The first installment should be paid 3 months before the trip and the final payment should be made 1 month before the trip.

    Adding a Serving Group - To increase in serving group size, you must contact the Home Office at least 45 days before the trip to see if there is still availability in the city.

    Increasing or Decreasing Group Size - The deadline to increase or decrease within your registered group size range is 30 days before the trip.

  • Shortly after your deposit is paid, you will receive a confirmation email from us with a city-specific packet of information to get you started. In this packet you will learn a bit more about the city and the housing accommodations.

    Our full-time staff will take care of your trip from here. We put together a full schedule, customized to fit your group & the needs of our community partners. About a month before your arrival, our City Director will set up a video call to go over your schedule and answer any final questions.

    Contact the Home Office to update your group number if it has changed.

  • We're so excited that you've chosen to serve with us! We'll see you in the city! Don’t forget to check out the group leaders’ page for pre-trip & post-trip resources to share with your team. Check the welcome email that you received after registering to find the password.
