La Iglesia hopes to work together with the Body of Christ in México to build relationships and show a more complete picture of what the church can be. We strive to wrestle with the question of how the Body should function as one in spite of the barriers that separate us. The Northwest Baja District of the Church of the Nazarene welcomes us each month to partner with various Nazarene churches across the border. We're invited to participate in district gatherings and celebrations, as well as help with construction projects on the church and seminary buildings.

Border Sunday will provide an opportunity to engage as part of the greater San Diego-Tijuana region and worship alongside our Mexican neighbors and friends. The trip will widen our perspectives regarding immigration and cross-border relations, specifically within the context of the Church. Together we will hike through Border Field State Park to join in communion and worship with The Border Church/La Iglesia Fronteriza, a weekly Christian gathering right at the border.

Our Christmas event celebrates with all our ministry partners. In December, we spend a day visiting each of the children's homes, giving backpacks with educational supplies, singing Christmas carols, and exploring the city.

Join us for an opportunity to explore the Tijuana-San Diego border area and learn about the complexities of this fascinating region. Witness firsthand the contrasts between how U.S. Border Patrol protects the border and how families have been separated by immigration laws. You will meet migrants who have been deported while trying to enter the U.S. and tour the red light district of Tijuana. This trip will push you to grapple with complex issues.

Some students spend spring break at the beach. At ¹ú²ú͵ÅÄ, you’ll have the opportunity to spend it with President Dr. Bob Brower, fellow students, faculty, staff, alumni, and administrators, contributing to an environmentally friendly building project in México.
