Mission Trip 2025 - Asheville, NC
Sunday, July 13, 2025 - Friday, July 18, 2025
Cost: $350 (Scholarships Available)
This is a return trip for the MSPC Youth. Our last time there was in 2018, and we had a great time with their program and in the city. Hurricane Helene devastated the Asheville area this year. We won't be mucking out debris or framing up new houses; instead, we will be working with the programs that support those whose lives have been turned upside down because of the storm. MSPC's Youth Mission Trips are transformative experiences for the Youth of our congregation. Listen to just about any Senior Sermon, and you will hear that a key part of Youth Group was the opportunity to learn about and serve others. Join Matt and other leaders this July in Asheville!
We understand that it's an expensive time of the year, so we're not expecting any deposit today. However, we do need you to register ASAP so we can plan accordingly. A deposit of $100 will be due February 1st and the remainder will be due June 1st. If you are interested in a scholarship, don't hesitate to get in touch with Matt (matt@maxpres.org).

Rob Wethington
Youth Director
Rob is excited to serve as the new Youth Director at Maxwell Street Presbyterian Church and is honored to also serve as an elder. He and his wife, Anna, were married at Maxwell on Leap Day 2020—yes, they only get a real anniversary every four years! They have two wonderful kids: Thatcher, 13, and Frances, 4, who keep life full of energy and laughter.
During the week, Rob works as a technical contractor for the federal government, but in his free time, you’ll find him listening to records, playing video games, heading to the gym or pool, walking his energetic (and sometimes a little crazy) dog Hazel, or tinkering with anything tech-related.
Rob’s heart for youth ministry runs deep—his dad was a youth minister when he was a teen, and that experience left a lasting impact. He’s passionate about creating a space where young people can be themselves, ask questions, grow in faith, and build real community. Rob loves Maxwell Street for its open-hearted welcome and the way it truly lives out God’s command to love one another.
