Go Encounter Trips

Be Transformed as you step into a new culture and develop new perspectives

Have you wondered if there’s a way to travel to another country in college without spending an entire semester there? At Grace, there is! Throughout the year, students go on 10-day trips led by dedicated Grace faculty and staff called Go Encounter trips.


Grace Core Curriculum
A Key Piece to Our Curriculum

All students are required to complete a Cross-Cultural Field Experience as a part of the Grace Core, our liberal arts common experience courses. Global fluency is a key competency for today’s workforce, equipping our students for whatever career they land in. More than that, cross-cultural competency is a kingdom skill we’ll use forever as we worship God alongside people from every tribe and tongue and nation!
