Mariners Church Footsteps of Paul Tour

Monday October 26 – Thursday November 5, 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 Footsteps of the Apostle Paul. Few other places 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 though His dullos the Apostle Paul. 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 Athens!

Jared Kirkwood, Irvine Lead Pastor

APPREHENDED. REDEEMED.
SENT TO CHANGE THE WORLD.

The figure of the Apostle Paul stands uniquely in history at the crossroads of redemption. Exquisitely trained in the highest forms religious discipline and thought, equipped with a brilliant mind and born with flame of fervor that consuming everything it’s path, he was a man of impact. A man of consequence.

While it was set in his heart to stamp out the early church and to rid the world of it’s influence, he could hardly have anticipated the life altering encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. The result of that encounter set Paul on a journey that would lead the generations following him to marvel. From Christianity’s most fierce opponent to it’s dedicated ‘dullos’, he gave his life for the Gospel.

We invite you to join us for a journey though the lands so richly impacted by his ministry and so wonderfully featured in the pages of scripture.

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