From September 8 - December 9, join in and learn about Baptist Theology, and from January 4 - April 7, learn about Baptist Polity. Each class is $200 plus books.

Coordinator Mark Snipes reflects on leading a group from his home church to serve with Passport Puerto Rico.

"A couple of weeks ago, I had the privilege of chaperoning a group of students from my church on a mission trip to Puerto Rico through Passport Camps.

We spent almost a year preparing. We planned, raised money, learned about Puerto Rico, and talked about what it means to show up as guests and partners rather than people with all the answers.

Even with all that preparation, I found myself carrying a quiet anxiety once we arrived."
