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.

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.
