Spring break trips
We view spring break as a chance to do something meaningful. Alternating between service trips (typically with Habitat for Humanity) and educational trips the week is always a time to deepen community and better understand the persons God is calling us to be.
Past trips have taken us to New Orleans, Jacksonville Beaches FL, Germany, Jackson MS, and Bettysville KY.
In addition to the trip organized by LCM-C, we provide assistance to our group members interested in other alternative spring break experiences. This includes (but is not limited to) the trip hosted by Clemson's Habitat Club, the United Methodist medical mission trip to The Bahamas, or CU's Civil Engagement Service trip.

LCM-C has a long and strong tradition of Spring Break trips to Habitat for Humanity sites. Pastor Chris has taken students to FL, to MS, to LA, to WV...... and the trips he enjoyed the most were the three previous trips to Jacksonville Beaches.

Past spring break trips
2018 Spring Break - Germany
Every three years we make a trip to the parts of Germany where the Reformation began. We fly to Berlin, travel to Wittenberg, Erfurt, Eisenach (Wartburg Castle), Weimar (Buchenwald Concentration Camp), and Eileben (Mansfield Castle.)
You can apply your LCM "Earned Money" to the cost. We also work to secure additional grants. There will be introduction letters prepared to send to your home congregation, inviting their support of your participation.
If you have questions - speak to Pastor Chris. There are a number of students who made the trip in 2018. They can also share their thoughts.
