Faith-based travel is more than a vacation—it’s a journey of the heart. It’s the chance to walk ancient paths, stand in places where Scripture unfolded, and experience spiritual renewal in ways that simply can’t be replicated at home. Few organizations embody this mission as fully as Educational Travel Services (ETS), a leader in Christian travel experiences since 1974.
Whether you’re a pastor planning a group pilgrimage, a traveler longing to deepen your faith, or an advisor helping others explore the world through a spiritual lens, ETS offers thoughtfully curated journeys that bring the Bible to life.
🌍 Why Faith-Based Travel Matters
Faith-based travel invites you to step into the story of Scripture. It transforms familiar passages into vivid experiences—moments you can see, touch, and feel.
Here are some of the most meaningful aspects of these journeys:
Walking in the footsteps of Jesus: From the Sea of Galilee to the Western Wall, ETS Holy Land tours allow travelers to explore the places where Jesus taught, healed, and lived.
Connecting history with belief: Journeys of Paul cruises take travelers through Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, and Rome—cities central to the early church and the spread of Christianity.
Strengthening community: Group travel fosters shared spiritual moments that deepen relationships and create lifelong memories.
Experiencing Scripture with all your senses: Sailing the Sea of Galilee, praying at sacred sites, or being baptized in the Jordan River—these are experiences that stay with you forever.
