1630 washington, d.c. trip 2025

From July 12–16, 2025, forty-eight young Christian leaders ages 18–30 gathered in Washington, D.C. for the 1630 trip—a powerful and purposeful experience designed to equip the next generation for civic and spiritual engagement. Representing 21 states and coming from diverse backgrounds and denominations, the group explored key landmarks including the Museum of the Bible, a guided monuments tour, the National Archives, the U.S. Capitol, the Library of Congress, and the Holocaust Museum. Along the way, they heard directly from Congressmen and U.S. Senators who shared how their faith has shaped their time in public service. The trip not only deepened participants’ understanding of America’s history and government but also encouraged them to consider how their own faith might influence the way they lead and engage in today’s world.
