Mission Trip Training Resources
|
 If you've signed up to lead a CSM trip, you have access to our pre- and post-trip training materials (can be found in the Leader Section - log in required). As the height of the summer season creeps in on us, we wanted to pass along additional resources to help get your group ready to serve in the city!

City Highlight: Nashville
|
Nashville, TN; Music City USA; the buckle of the Bible belt; home of the Tennessee Titans. From a tourist's perspective, this city is filled with glamour and cowboy boots. But after having spent a year here in Nashville, I find it is a great mistruth to assume that is the extent of Nashville.
Looking for creative ways to donate to CSM New York City? Check out their "Wish List". Items include new or used couches, fans and more. Feel free to print it and post it - and please don't hesitate to email us if you have any questions! |
