GO | Israel Trip

One of the most amazing things about the Christian faith is that we believe that the Lord of the Universe chose to become a person and live a life like the ones you and I live. That means: Jesus was a toddler, he had favorite foods, he had friends and frenemies, and he took naps. That also means we can go to the places where he was and did all of those things.


Downtown Church is beginning to organize a trip to visit the places where Jesus toddled and napped and sang. We plan to go to the Holy Land in January of 2024. If you're interested in toddling, napping, and singing with us in Israel and Palestine, the place where God became human, please fill out the form below.

Sites we will see:

  • the Church of the Nativity, where Jesus was born

  • Nazareth, where Jesus grew up

  • the River Jordan, where Jesus was baptized

  • the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus called disciples and walked on the water

  • Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed before he was arrested

  • the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where Jesus was crucified

Things we will do:

  • worship in Mary Magdalene's hometown

  • break bread where Jesus appeared to his disciples after his resurrection

  • circle Jericho a couple of times

  • swim (float) in the Dead Sea

  • pray ... a lot

The cost will be around $3000 per person, including airfare, lodging, local travel, and all food for the trip. We expect that we will travel for about 9 days, including 5 weekdays. A likely itinerary will include a January 5 evening departure and a January 15 return.
