In 2025, a total of 165 youth and adults joined FaithX service trips and had the opportunity to engage in service, learn new skills, grow in faith, explore interesting places, live in community, and build friendships!
Junior and senior high youth completed eight weeks of service in the United States, while adult participants traveled to Uganda.
The enthusiasm and dedication of FaithX participants is exciting to see–our Church of the Brethren youth and adults display such a commitment to living, loving, and serving like Jesus! If you would like to see photos from the 2025 FaithX trips, check them out at www.yogile.com/faithx-2025.
We cannot wait to see what next year holds–dates and locations for most of the 2026 FaithX service trips will be announced soon. We hope you will join us!
FaithX is hosting a special service trip for adults ages 50-plus at Camp Ithiel in Gotha, Fla., on Feb. 22-27, 2026.
We invite you to gather for a time of volunteering, continued growth, and fellowship in community! Our previous trip included camp projects of painting a cabin, tree trimming, invasive species removal, deep cleaning, and kitchen assistance. We also spent time together for Bible study, games, bird watching, puzzles, rocking chair relaxation, and recreational trips away from camp. Photos from the 2024 trip at Camp Ithiel can be viewed at www.yogile.com/gotha2024.

Sign up now! Registration for the FaithX older adult trip is open at www.brethren.org/faithx
