2027 High School Domestic Church Planting Trip - Eden Church
March 19, 2027 to March 24, 2027
Hackensack, New Jersey
High school students are heading to Hackensack, New Jersey, to serve alongside Eden Church — a young church plant that is just two and a half years old. Eden was planted in 2023 by Pastor Brandon Cobb, who grew up in Hackensack, left, met Jesus, and came home with a calling he describes simply: take care of Jersey. That's not a slogan on a wall; it's a church of people who still set up and tear down a rented hall every Sunday morning, who run kids' ministry out of borrowed space, and who are trying to make the gospel visible in a county of a million people where mansions and under-resourced neighborhoods sit blocks apart. Our students will step into the actual, ordinary work of that: serving Eden Kids, helping with hospitality and setup, joining the prayer team, meeting neighbors, and being present in a city most of them have never seen. Because we'll be there over a Sunday, students will also get to worship with Eden's people and see a church plant in motion — not a finished product, but a body being built. This trip exists so students can watch the Church start from nothing and learn that the kingdom advances through faithfulness, not spectacle.
