CALVARY CHAPEL COLUMBIA

Hosted by Pastor Jim Weaver

2026 ISRAEL TOUR | Monday, April 13 – Sunday, April 26, 2026

The psalmist declares, “Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.” – Psalm 84:5.

It is perhaps one of the great privileges of our time to enjoy the Holy Land. No other place on earth offers such a unique and intimate experience for those who love and follow Christ. For this reason we are very honored to open this door of opportunity for you.

I want to personally invite you to come and join us as we make our very own pilgrimage, and encounter in profound ways the wonderful heritage we have in Jesus Christ. Join us as we encounter the rich culture, the breathtaking sites and the timeless stories preserved so beautifully in God’s word.

Enrich your life. Make the journey. Be forever changed.
See you in Jerusalem!

Pastor Jim Weaver

THE JOY IS IN THE JOURNEY

There are few places on earth that have the capacity to affect a life as does Israel. No where else in the world is there such a unique collision between the ancient and the modern. Whether walking the streets of metropolitan Tel Aviv, or placing your hand in reflective prayer on the iconic Western Wall, the breath of culture and history represented in the land is absolutely staggering.

Considering a pilgrimage to this amazing place evokes serious reflection and consideration. There are costs to consider, time to commit and soul searching to be done. All of these surely work together for the good, for the reward of such travel is a deep stirring of the soul. To a person you will hear the testimony that one returning from a pilgrimage to the Holy Land is forever changed. There is an abiding appreciation and connection to the promises of God, His chosen people, and the life and work of His son Jesus Christ.

Enrich your life. Make the journey. Be forever changed.
