Footsteps of Jesus: Israel Study Trip 2018

1/03/2018 12:00 am - 11/03/2018 11:59 pm

This study trip aims to deepen our understanding of Jesus and His ministry by visiting the places He walked and taught. This is not a tour. It is a “study trip” where there will be much learning happening before, during, and after the trip.

This trip is opened to those who regularly attend Island ECC and consider Island ECC their “home church.” Priority will be given to applicants who are actively serving in church.
