Overview
Trevecca students are called to lead lives of service—and this trip gives you the chance to live that out in a truly global context. Your journey begins in Reykjavík and then takes you to Akureyri, a vibrant town in northern Iceland where the Salvation Army is actively supporting families, refugees, and anyone in need of belonging.
You’ll be invited to step in with humility, presence, and love—doing small things with great care, and discovering how God works through everyday acts of service. This is more than a service trip. It’s an invitation to invest in your own journey—growing in faith, clarity, and calling as you step into something bigger than yourself.
What You’ll Do
✔️ Support clothing, food, and family programs at the Salvation Army in Akureyri
✔️ Build relationships with families and individuals facing real-world challenges
✔️ Learn from local leaders and explore Icelandic culture and community
✔️ Engage in daily team debriefs, personal development, and spiritual reflection
✔️ Listen for God’s voice in a new setting—and discern how God might be calling you to grow
