Cross-Cultural Learning Experiences (CCLEs) at Grace Chapel
What Are Cross-Cultural Learning Experiences (CCLEs)?
Cross-Cultural Learning Experiences (CCLEs) are opportunities to join God’s work beyond our church walls. Other churches might call them “mission trips,” but we go as learners, partnering with people God has called to serve in their own communities.
CCLEs aren’t vacations—they’re faith-growing adventures that open our eyes to what God is doing around the world. Most trips last 7–14 days, include training and fundraising, and connect us with Grace Chapel’s global partners in places like Guatemala, New England, and beyond.
Whether you’re curious about a part of the world, passionate about a kind of ministry, or just ready to step out in faith, a CCLE is a powerful way to serve, learn, and grow.
Your world—and your heart—won’t be the same.
