The Cruise Project

May 11–22, 2026

The Cruise Project is our two-week summer discipleship experience designed to help you grow in your faith and learn how to lead yourself and others toward deeper life in Jesus.

This year, we’ll spend 8 days in San Diego and 4 days on a cruise, combining intentional discipleship training, meaningful Christian community, and real-life ministry opportunities.

  • 8 Days in San Diego

    During our time in San Diego, you will:

    • Deepen your understanding of God’s Word across a variety of Christian topics.

    • Study through an entire book of the Bible together.

    • Cultivate convictions that shape genuine Christlike character.

    • Meet regularly in discipleship groups with peers and staff.

    • Share your faith on a college campus alongside our sister ministry, Campus Outreach San Diego.

    We’ll stay at the same resort we used last year, which sleeps up to 48 and includes outdoor recreation areas, games, and great space for building community.

  • After San Diego, we’ll complete our summer discipleship curriculum while sailing together.

    You will:

    • Share your faith in each port city (Ensenada and Catalina).

    • Serve, live, and learn in close Christian community.

    • Experience unforgettable scenery while continuing to grow spiritually.

    We’ll be sailing on the Carnival Firenze, making this both a meaningful and memorable experience.

  • Meaningful Christian Community

    • Develop Christ-centered relationships that last.

    • Grow in ministry alongside others in a learning community.

    • Travel expenses to San Diego are not included.

    • The trip begins in San Diego and ends in Long Beach.
