Since 1994, McFarlin has spent Spring Break serving in the Rio Grande Valley.

And now, due to circumstances outside of our control, we are being called into something new. We’ll be gifted the opportunity to listen to different stories, form fresh relationships, and carry forward that same sacred Spring Break experience.

March 14–21, we will embark on a new pilgrimage to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Partnering with First United Methodist Church of Baton Rouge, we are trading desert for bayou and stepping into their mission of Real Tools. Real Work. Real Difference. What better way to capture the spirit of the last 30+ years of Spring Break service?

Our Spring Break 2026 theme is Living Proof of a Loving God. From 6-year-oldsto 60-year-olds, we will come together as the body of Christ, where serving, worshiping, learning, and being transformed live side by side in a way that can only happen on a mission trip. And we need your help.

Our goal is to raise $30,000 through our Fund A Project initiative to keep this trip accessible for youth and families. Every dollar goes directly toward project supplies, van rentals, groceries for our cooks, and scholarships. We never want to say no to someone whose life might be changed through the holy work of Spring Break.

Your generosity doesn’t just fund a trip. It fuels transformation. It forms disciples. It makes love tangible. Thank you for helping McFarlin continue this sacred work, one Spring Break at a time.
