MissionPalooza trains teens to be Christ’s hands and feet in the world. For five days youth come together in community, mission, fellowship and worship. Students spend their days in the urban mission field heeding Christ’s call to feed the hungry, visit the sick, and comfort those in need.

This event is sponsored by Episcopal Community Services of Kansas City. The mission of Episcopal Community Services is to serve the needs of our community by creating opportunities to grow in faith through volunteer service and partnerships.
