About the Mission Base
Large & Safe Mission Base
Go Missions to Mexico's Mission Base is located about 4 hours South of San Diego, CA. The facilities are designed to accommodate short-term mission teams and can accommodate 230 people in bunk beds and over 500 people if camping is desired. The base is fenced, gated, and very secure.
The mission base is located on 13 acres. It has 4 separate facility tracts, each with its own kitchens, dining halls, meeting rooms, showers (with hot water), bathrooms (with flushing toilets), dorm rooms (with cushions on the beds), and parking areas.
Each short-term mission team will have its own lodging tract while on the base. Teams don't share facilities or go to the same church. Each team is its own separate team, with its own lodging facilities, and going to its own specially chosen church.
Because the base has 4 separate facility tracts, we can host more than one mission team at a time, which increases ministry impact.
The mission base is clean, fenced in, and safe. It is in a serene setting with a distant view of nearby beaches. It provides the perfect place to retreat after a full and rich day of ministry. Beaches are about a mile away. More about beaches
