Belmont on Mission

Helping students discover their calling through short-term missions to live fulfilling lives of service and work.

 

---

Every student comes to college trying to figure out what to do with their life. We get it - with so many options and pressure to get it "right,” it can be tough to figure out where God is calling us and what we're most passionate about. We believe that getting out of our comfort zones and seeing what God is up to in other parts of the world is a great place to start. A trip with Belmont on Mission invites you to...

1. Develop a broader understanding of God's global activity. 
2. Participate in long-term and sustainable practices of meeting the needs of our global neighbors. 
3. Discover where you fit into God's mission of redeeming and restoring the world.

 What do we mean by "Missions"?

Missions is not just about a trip that one goes on; it is about how we continually participate in God’s mission all throughout life. Belmont wants to empower and equip students to engage and transform the world. Our Missions and Outreach programming seeks to provide spiritually significant, vocationally relevant, and sustainable opportunities for our students to do so...

We want to give students exposure to the needs of the world and a laboratory in which to explore their place in God’s purposes. Toward that end, our philosophy of short-term missions is two-fold: 1) to create high-impact missional opportunities that are transformative and constructive for students, and 2) to create long-term, sustainable impact on the lives of people and communities being visited through responsible strategic partnerships. In order to accomplish that vision, we offer a variety of short-term mission opportunities that are both local and global, both immersive and discipline-specific, and always strategically partnered.

Plunge trips are four-day fall-break immersion experiences in domestic locations for first-year students and a fantastic way to start your freshman year off by getting to know other students as you serve alongside each other. 

Immersion trips are week-long spring break trips to that offer students a chance to be immersed in a local domestic culture and grow in understanding of the cares and concerns of those communities. 

International trips are spring break and summer mission experiences in partnership with faculty/staff leaders that have either a general or discipline-specific emphasis. 

Into.Nashville is a convo-credit program that exposes students to the diverse communities of Nashville and helps students engage and embrace the most often neglected people of the community.
