Civil Rights Pilgrimage | November 2021

A 9 Day Journey of Growth and Discovery | est. $ 2,195 per person

The National Civil Rights Museum, Memphis, TN

We hope you’ll consider joining our first domestic pilgrimage; an exploration of the Civil Rights Movement from a Christian point of view. Our journey will include historical and theological guides to help interpret the religious influence and significant on the events and people of the Movement.

This pilgrimage is still in the planning stages, so while specific dates and duration in each town may change, the overall itinerary should not vary. This pilgrimage is scheduled for November 5-13, 2021, but those dates are not fully confirmed. Once they are confirmed, we will open registration and notify preregistrants.
