TJ2026 Mission Trip Recap: Love Builds

From June 26–July 3, SPC high school and college-age students, along with adult leaders, traveled to Tijuana, Mexico for the TJ2026 Mission Trip. It was a week filled with hard work, new friendships, laughter, prayer, and countless moments that reminded us what can happen when we choose to serve alongside one another.

Through SPC’s longtime partnership with DOXA, our team stepped into the home-building experience—working side by side with families and community members to help build homes. From hauling gravel and swinging hammers to painting, sharing meals, and taking much-needed breaks together, every part of the week became an opportunity to connect.

But the trip was about far more than construction. Relationships were built across languages and cultures. Our students served, learned, worshiped, laughed, got incredibly dirty, and experienced firsthand the joy of giving their time and energy to others.

We are grateful for our partners at DOXA, the families and community members who welcomed our team, our adult leaders, and every student who said yes to this experience. Thank you also to the SPC community for your prayers and support before and throughout the trip.

The houses may be finished, but the relationships, stories, and memories built in Tijuana will continue far beyond this week. Love builds.
