Missional JourneyLYN House Missional Journeys are about creating a space for learning, reconciliation and redemptive relationships in an under-resourced neighborhood. Missional Journeys are not mission trips in the sense that outsiders come in to help and save others in poor neighborhoods. Rather, it is about recognizing that the privilege of some and the poverty of others are connected to each other through complex histories and injustices. Missional Journeys are a mix of fellowship, work and experiential activities to help teams to critically think about the structures and injustices of the poor. To learn more about this opportunity click here: LYN House Missional Journeys.

Short Term Volunteer OpportunitiesThere are a variety of short term volunteer opportunities that require a small commitment of time. During IPS school breaks we offer “express yourself” enrichment camps focused on the arts. If you have a special talent in art, photography or cooking or would like to volunteer as a helper contact Heidi Lyda to inquire about the theme and dates at heidilynnlyda@gmail.com. An additional opportunity is to be a basketball coach during the winter season.
