JOY’s Summer Mission Crew is made up of motivated young people, who are seeking a summer adventure and ultimately, God’s direction and impact on their lives. Summer Mission Crew members chose to serve at JOY to be immersed in a Christian environment and serve in ministry; grow in their faith, develop hospitality & other workplace skills, and make life-long friendships.

Summer Mission Crew members are assigned to a department that best meets their skill sets, training and interests. Mission Crew members live in a dorm-style setting with other Mission Crew members, meals are provided for them from JOY’s kitchen, and they take part in JOY’s Mission Crew Care Program, a ministry to the SMC where they will grow personally, professionally, spiritually and socially and hopefully, see the life-changing impact of belonging in a community.

JOY’s Mission Crew Care Program includes participation in daily devotions, attending SMC social events and chapel times, 1:1 mentorship from SMC leaders, attending Family Camp chapel, and a healthy contribution to community living.
