A journey to the Holy Land is more than a trip, certainly more than a vacation.

To sail upon the Sea of Galilee is to deepen your understanding of Jesus’s ministry. To see the city of Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives and to walk the cobblestone streets of the Old City is to enrich your commemoration of Holy Week year after year. To experience the rugged terrain of the Judean Wilderness, the heat of Jericho, the height of the hill country of Judea, is to forever transform the Bible from a black and white text into a full color, three dimensional reality.

A journey to the Holy Land will bring your faith to life. The Christian tradition is rooted in the idea that God has worked in the world at specific times, in specific ways, and in specific places.

And to see that world, with an open heart and an open mind, is truly to make a pilgrimage—a journey of faith that changes you forever.
