Mission Trips
As a church, we spend time each year in places outside of Northern Virginia, sharing God's love and being in service to others.
Rio Bravo, Mexico
Serve the Community in Mexico
In December 2025, Arcola Church is sending a volunteer team of youth and adults - affectionately referred to as the “Blockheads” - to Rio Bravo, Mexico, to continue the partnership we've had with this community for over 20 years. We will be building more cafeterias for local schools. Trip dates are December 19-23, 2025, and is open to youth and adults ages 9th grade and up. Earn 50 service hours by participating. Total cost of the trip is $950, which includes a really cool t-shirt, food, and lodging at the LARC apartments.
Scholarships are available to individuals and families who can demonstrate economic hardship. No refunds after October 29.
