URBI GLOBAL TRAVEL
Group Travel for Church Groups and Mission Trips
Retreats, conferences, pilgrimages and mission trips planned by a real person, with quotes in 1 to 3 hours and no deposit.
The short answer
Urbi Global Travel handles church group travel end to end: flights, hotels, ground transportation and activities for retreats, conferences, pilgrimages and mission trips. Send your dates and headcount and a real person replies with a quote within 1 to 3 hours. No deposit is required to start, and group size can change up until you pay.
Moving a congregation is different from booking a single trip, and church group travel needs a coordinator who can keep dozens of people, several hotel rooms and a bus schedule aligned. Urbi Global Travel is a family-run, IATA-affiliated agency that plans church group travel of every kind, from a weekend women's retreat to an international mission trip. Whether you are a pastor, a ministry leader or a volunteer organizer, you get one point of contact who arranges the flights, lodging, ground transport and activities so you can focus on your people, not the logistics.
Because church group travel often involves a shifting roster right up to departure, Urbi keeps the process flexible. You submit your trip details, we send a written quote within 1 to 3 hours during business hours, and you can adjust the group size or plans at any time before payment is made. There is no deposit to get a quote started, and nothing is booked until you confirm. As an experienced church group travel planner, Urbi coordinates domestic and international itineraries for congregations of all sizes across the United States, with real human support at every step.
Church trips Urbi plans
Every congregation travels for different reasons, and each type of trip carries its own logistics. Urbi builds the plan around your ministry's purpose, budget and headcount, then coordinates the moving parts as one package. Here are the church group travel packages we most often arrange.
Weekend and week-long spiritual retreats for youth, men's, women's and whole-church groups, including lodging, meeting space coordination and transport.
Travel for denominational gatherings and worship conferences: group flights, blocks of hotel rooms near the venue, and airport shuttles.
Faith journeys to significant destinations, with international flights, ground transport and hotels arranged in one coordinated itinerary.
Domestic and international mission trip travel, handled as a mission trip travel agency: flights, lodging near the service site and local transportation.
Multi-city travel for choirs and ministry teams, with coordinated arrivals so everyone lands and lodges together.
Group vacations and fellowship trips to destinations your members will remember, from city breaks to tropical stays.
What Urbi arranges for your group
One agency, one plan, one invoice. Instead of chasing separate airlines, hotels and bus companies, your church group tour planning runs through a single coordinator who keeps every piece in sync.
Group air travel with coordinated schedules so members arrive together, plus help when a few travelers need different departure cities.
Room blocks sized to your headcount, near the venue, retreat center or service site, with rooming lists organized for you.
Coaches, vans and airport shuttles so the whole congregation moves together without renting and driving yourselves.
Tours, meals and add-on excursions arranged around your schedule, so free time is planned rather than left to chance.
