Missionpalooza 2026!

Youth are invited to get together for Missionpalooza from July 21 – 26 for one of our all-time favorite traditions!

This gathering is all about rolling up our sleeves, putting our faith into motion, and discovering just how much good we can do together. During the week we will spread out across the greater Kansas City area, offering our hands, hearts, and laughter to the places that need us most.

We’ll start each morning bright and early, heading out to our sites to get the day’s assignment. At noon, everything pauses for “family time” — youth‑led devotionals, shared stories, and a chance to breathe and reconnect. Youth step into leadership roles at their worksites, and everyone pitches in on service projects at St. Paul’s throughout the week to help keep our home base shining.

Evenings are the perfect mix of rest and fun. This can range from ice cream runs to the Plaza to board games or participating in fellowship with friends. At 9 p.m., we gather for singing and story‑sharing from each worksite’s adventures. Then on Saturday we will head to our “fun sites” for a well‑earned break.

Sunday wraps everything up with youth who volunteer as guest preachers at St. Paul’s to share their reflections and takeaways from the week.
