We Exist to Serve Those Who Go.

We are not a travel agency that happens to serve churches. We are a ministry-minded organization that happens to provide travel services.

Our Story

High Point Travel started in 1986 as a traditional travel agency in Dallas, Texas. What began with church ski retreats found its heart in ministry — and never looked back. Over the following decades, we pivoted from church ski travel to mission trip airfare, and added charter bus coordination for camps, conferences, and ministry .

Today, High Point serves over 120,000 people annually across 178 countries. More than 90% of our clients book again year after year. Our team of over 45 — many with 15 to 30+ years of tenure — comes from youth ministry, campus missions, and the local church. We know what it costs to lead people into life-changing experiences, and we know that the last thing you need is for the logistics to get in the way. That's where we come in.

We are family owned and have been since day one.

What Drives Us

We understand the weight you carry, because most of us have carried it too. Every flight we book, every bus we schedule, and every problem we solve is an act of service to the Great Commission — because we believe the work of getting people there is just as sacred as the work they do when they arrive. We serve Jesus in the admin so you can stay focused on what matters most: the people God has called you to reach.

Relationship over transaction. Many of our clients have been with us for over a decade. And they don't just return, they refer. Ministry leaders sharing about their great experiences and care from our staff isn't a marketing plan — it's culture.

Your win is personal to us. When three students get baptized on a trip we helped coordinate, that story comes back to our office. We celebrate it. We pray daily for the next one.

Multiple teams. One seamless experience. Behind your travel consultant is a full team working in parallel — coordinating, monitoring, and quietly solving problems before you ever know they exist.

The best trips aren't just well-booked. They're well-partnered.

Our Values — Seven Commitments We Never Compromise

These values are the convictions that bind our team together and shape everything we do for the ministries we serve.

Gospel-Centered Purpose

We exist to see God change lives. Every flight booked, every bus scheduled, and every problem solved is an act of service to the Great Commission. We don't just move people — we help move the Gospel to the nations. Our work has eternal significance because it enables ministry leaders to focus on what matters most: impacting people for Christ. Matthew 28:19–20 | Colossians 3:23–24 | Romans 10:14–15

Proactive Client Advocacy

We don't wait for problems — we anticipate them. We position ourselves as an extension of our clients' ministries, fighting for their interests with airlines, vendors, and logistics challenges. When the unexpected happens, we're already working on solutions. Our clients never wonder if someone has their back — they know we do. Philippians 2:3–4 | Proverbs 27:23 | 1 Corinthians 10:24

Uncompromising Integrity

We do what we say we'll do. We speak the truth, even when it's difficult. We protect our clients' trust as sacred, knowing that our word is our bond and our reputation is built one honest conversation at a time. Proverbs 11:3 | Colossians 3:9 | Matthew 5:37

Ministry-Minded Expertise

We deeply understand the unique needs of churches, mission organizations, and Christian schools because many of us have served in ministry ourselves. We speak the language of ministry. This insider knowledge allows us to anticipate needs others would miss. 1 Corinthians 9:19–22 | Romans 12:13 | Galatians 6:10

Creative Problem-Solving

We think outside the box because ministry travel rarely fits in one. Our team thrives on the challenge of turning logistical chaos into smooth experiences. We're resourceful, nimble, and relentless in pursuit of solutions that serve our clients well. Proverbs 24:6 | James 1:5 | Ecclesiastes 10:10

Servant-Hearted Administration

We serve Jesus in the admin. The details that feel mundane to others are sacred to us — because they free ministry leaders to focus on people instead of paperwork. We carry the management load so pastors, mission directors, and trip coordinators can shepherd hearts instead of spreadsheets. Colossians 3:17 | Mark 10:45 | 1 Peter 4:10–11

Ministry Team Culture

We're more than colleagues — we're bonded by a shared purpose. We pray together, celebrate together, and carry burdens together. Our internal culture of care overflows into how we treat every client we serve. Romans 12:10 | Galatians 6:2 | Hebrews 10:24–25
