What is Mexico Outreach?

Mexico Outreach began in 1996 with just 26 people. Over 30 years later, this trip has grown to include over 1,000 people eager to serve — and now, you have the opportunity to be part of it. You'll serve the local community of Guadalupe Victoria through home builds, kids' camps at local churches, community projects, and more. But this trip is about more than just what you do — it’s about what God wants to do in you. As you step away from your daily routine — phones, distractions, and comfort zones — and dedicate a week fully to God, you may find yourself feeling closer to Him than ever before. Come join us, and see how He wants to use you.

WHERE YOU CAN SERVE

Impact

High School & Adult
Bayside’s Breakaway Kids Camp is heading to Mexico! This team partners with local churches to minister to the children in the community and share the Gospel message. Key components of the program include games, Bible stories, arts and crafts, worship, and plenty of piggyback rides.

Construction

High School & Adult
Our construction teams build homes for families in need who are connected to the churches and communities where we work. These teams spend an entire week constructing a 2-bedroom home. Construction leads need students who are focused, committed, and not afraid of hard work.

Community Service

Adult
These teams are the definition of flexible! They serve throughout the community on various projects, including painting, homeless ministry, park clean-ups, and more, depending on the community’s needs. This team requires a “can-do” attitude and a willingness to tackle any task!

Interpreter

Adult
The role of the interpreter is crucial on this trip. Interpreters will facilitate communication between adult leaders, students, children, and pastors. In essence, they play a leadership role, working closely with adult leaders to ensure smooth and effective communication.

F.A.Q.

During Easter week Bayside students and adults come together to serve as God’s hands and feet in Mexicali, Mexico. Mexico Outreach started in 1996 with just a small group of 26 students and has grown to over 1000+ because of the positive and lasting impact on the Mexican community and on the Americans that go. The large group divides into smaller teams that serve all over the Mexicali valley supporting and encouraging the churches and organizations we partner with. The week is packed with amazing sermons, a close community, piggy back rides, servant hearts, fantastic food, and powerful experiences

The Mexico Trip is transformational! Student and adult participants experience God in a new place, have opportunities to serve, develop lasting friendships, make life-long memories and God moves in their lives and the lives of those they serve. If students or adults are wanting deeper connection with others at the church, this trip guarantees new friendships and an authentic community experience. The need is great, and we believe God wants to use you to impact the world!

Fundraising is a big part of our Mexico missions trip. This trip is designed for other people to support you after the initial deposit of $149. We provide many resources to help you with your fundraising. We hope that we can equip you with the tools needed for this to not be a huge financial expense.

For those who have attempted to fundraise and are struggling, talk to a student pastor about whether scholarships are available.

A typical day in Mexico is as follows:
