MISSION PEORIA WKNDS

JUNE/ JULY 2026

Over the last twenty years Dream Center Peoria has seen thousands of young people come and impact the City through an annual one week long missions trip called Mission Peoria.

As we evolve our outreach and get more strategic in all that we do, we feel it’s time to do something a little different that will expand the Mission Peoria experience and welcome groups of ALL AGES (10yr and up) to come and make a city-wide impact. We are excited to launch tailored short term mission trips — intimate, 3-day experiences designed for church groups.

These trips will empower participants to step fully into ownership of their service, using their unique gifts and talents in meaningful ways or discovering and developing new ones along the journey. You will be immersed into a wide array of Dream Center Peoria ministries, as well as, partnering with other organizations and inner-city churches. This shift also allows for deeper, more personal connections, greater flexibility, and a profound level of impact that resonates long after the trip ends.

Imagine smaller teams diving wholeheartedly into customized projects, building lasting relationships in our neighborhoods, and experiencing transformation that goes beyond the surface. This is not just a change — it's an invitation to own your role in God's work here in Peoria, creating ripple effects of hope and change that are more sustainable and life-changing for everyone involved.
