NCC Students: Mexico Mission Trip 2026

High school students, you are invited to spend your spring break serving with us at Tijuana Christian Mission in Mexico. Our partnership with TCM goes back decades and it is an honor to be able to help the children in need who live there. You can anticipate a trip in which you will be challenged and will grow in your faith in Jesus as you serve in a cross-cultural context. While in Mexico, we will help to meet physical needs of TCM, such as building, painting, yardwork, etc. as well as serving the children living there.

Requirements:
1. Passport: Anyone wanting to come to serve in Mexico is required to have an updated passport. Students should begin working on updating that now.
2. Cost: The cost for the trip for students is $_____ plus spending money for 11 fast food meals on the road, souvenirs, gifts, etc. ($100-$120 recommended). A non-refundable $200 deposit is due at the time of completing this registration form. Registration closes on March _______ and full payment is due March ________.
3. Complete Registration: Students should fill out this registration form with the assistance of their parent/guardian. There are portions where the student will be required to fill out information pertaining to their interest and service abilities on the trip, trip covenant agreement, etc. Other portions, such as the liability section, will require a parent or guardian signature if the student is under 18.
