The Chowan University Campus Ministry is NOT a travel agency. These opportunities are for MISSION experiences and ministry, to help you become GLOBAL - GOSPEL citizens. For any of these experiences, you must fill out an application (click here to download and save), interview, and be accepted for each trip. Note: Each experience requires different skill sets, and all applicants may not meet the skill level requirements for each trip.

As with all of our Missions endeavors, we will work with you to help you raise funds for your portion of the experience. However, you must be willing to be creative and work with us to accomplish the task of fundraising.

If you have any questions, or want to turn in your application(s), please email Rev. Mari Wiles at wilesm@chowan.edu.
