Serve in Costa Rica
Imagine stepping into a vibrant Costa Rican community, where your hands and heart can transform lives. Joining our serve trips offers a profound emotional journey. You’ll partner with Costa Rica Mission Projects and local Methodist churches, empowering single mothers through affordable childcare and fostering hope in children via education and Bible School. As you engage in light construction or share laughter with youth, you’ll forge deep connections, feeling the warmth of a culture that welcomes you like family.
The lush jungles and beautiful beaches help frame moments of reflection, where you’ll witness God’s love in creation — both in those you serve and within yourself. Every hug, every shared meal, binds you to a global Christian family, reminding you of your purpose.
Resurrection’s long-term commitment ensures your impact endures, while the experience reshapes your perspective, filling you with gratitude and spiritual renewal. For adults and kids 8+, it’s a safe, unforgettable adventure to grow faith together. Answer the call to serve, and let Costa Rica’s people and beauty change you forever.

Work & Activities
Costa Rica Mission Projects (CRMP) was founded by North Carolina Conference Missionary Wil Bailey and his wife Yolanda in 2003.
They believe that Christian service comes in many forms and that they have been called to provide opportunities for churches in Costa Rica and churches from other countries to serve one another and explore what it means for us to be part of a body that extends far beyond the walls of our own individual churches.
When you travel to Costa Rica you can expect to help in local churches doing light construction, special programming for children and youth, as well as spending time in the community building relationships. This is an incredible and safe opportunity for families to serve together in an international setting.
