Get ready for summer 2026! This trip will take you across the globe to Taiwan, where you’ll dive into a vibrant culture and play a vital role on a small team. You’ll serve in local coffee shops, build relationships with new friends, and help lead a VBS camp where kids can encounter the love of Jesus. Along the way, you’ll grow as a leader, discover how God is at work in another part of the world, and learn how your gifts can make an eternal impact. This is an opportunity to be stretched, inspired, and equipped for a lifetime of mission. Are you ready to make a difference?

Jesus told His disciples to “go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19). The need for sharing the gospel message in our hometown and around the world is as real today as it was when Jesus first spoke those words 2,000 years ago. REACH is an event for middle and high school students celebrating what God is doing all around the world and explore how we can be involved in world missions. There will be incredible worship, guest speakers, testimonies, giveaways, and other exciting elements you don’t want to miss. This event will replace both middle and high school services for the weekend.

Never heard of broom ball before? It’s like hockey, but cooler and way easier to pick up. Whether you’re coming to play or just want to slip and slide around on the ice, it’s going to be an absolute blast. We’ve rented out the entire ice rink at the Lloyd Center in Portland to play, and it’s going to be an absolute blast. This is also a great event to invite your friends who aren’t already a part of the Flipside Family too. Students must register to attend. Registration will be available November 1, 2025, and will close November 22, 2025.
