Middle School Mission Trip
Why here?
Keep Austin Weird. The City of Austin’s motto is lived out through its artistic culture and love of food trucks. But with any rapidly growing big city, there are also underserved neighborhoods. Through our local partnerships, students will learn how the church is responding to these needs in very real ways. Your team will serve in a variety of local ministries, ranging from a food pantry to a rescue mission. Students will also get the opportunity to explore Austin during our Mission Race and they’ll hike local outdoor adventure spots.
Why so close to home?
We understand that the location is not too far away. Given the current circumstances and the freedom to plan a trip, Austin seems to be a great match. Our heart at the Oakwood Student Ministry is to discover new ministry opportunities that might arise from this trip.
Ministry Outreach
Through our various partnerships, students will gain insight into what ministry in an urban environment really looks like. Opportunities include: soup kitchen, working at a neighborhood outreach center, and more.
Adventure Opportunities
Students will have the opportunity to explore downtown Austin during the Mission Race, explore local parks and conservatories, and go hiking.

DYC Session 6
Featuring Dylan Manley
WHO IS THE BEARDED APOLOGIST?
My name is Dylan. I like coffee, theology, books, and of course beards. I am a husband, a father, an apologist, and most importantly a believer in Jesus and his gospel of grace.
I am also a full time student-pastor in Denton, TX (North DFW). I also get the opportunity to travel and share the Gospel with people all across the world. I speak at DNOWs, conferences, stand-alones, and any other place someone will have me.
I also do training in apologetics and would love to help you or your group be equipped for defending and proclaiming the Truth. I can teach on nearly any apologetics topic you might be interested in, but I specialize in the uniqueness of Christianity among world religions.
I’d love to partner with you to make much of Jesus and lead others to a Jesus shaped life.
DYC Gabrielle Odom
