About Greg & Kim Ford
Greg and Kim Ford believe that travel in a Christian context has the power to change lives.
For more than two decades, they have been helping students, families, and ministry leaders experience the world through a Biblical lens. Having traveled in more than 100 countries, they have led thousands of people on educational journeys that combine history, culture, faith, and adventure. Their passion is not simply to visit remarkable places, but to help travelers understand them and discover how God has been at work throughout history.
Every ClassicalTrips experience is intentionally designed to move beyond sightseeing. Students walk the streets where history unfolded, explore the places where the early church was born, engage with different cultures, and develop the confidence to navigate unfamiliar cities with wisdom and discernment. These experiences build independence, deepen faith, and create memories that last a lifetime.
Greg serves as Vice President of Victory College International, helping oversee hundreds of Bible schools around the world. He also served for eight years as a Challenge IV Director, investing in students during some of their most formative years.
Kim has spent her life investing in students and families as well. She served as the Eastern Oklahoma Area Representative for Classical Conversations, was a Challenge III Director, is a pastoral counselor, and is a certified MyWhy Facilitator. Together, Greg and Kim have dedicated their lives to equipping the next generation to think critically, lead courageously, and follow Christ faithfully.
Their greatest recommendation, however, is their own family.
Greg and Kim are the parents of six remarkable children whose lives have been shaped through international travel, home education, deep involvement in the local church, and a commitment to living with purpose. Having experienced firsthand how travel transforms young people, they are passionate about providing the same opportunities for other families.
A Natural Classical Partnership
Greg and Kim have served as Challenge III and Challenge IV Directors, raised four Challenge IV graduates, and watched countless students discover that history comes alive when experienced firsthand. Standing in ancient Athens, walking the streets of Rome, exploring Ephesus, or tracing the footsteps of the Apostle Paul creates a level of understanding that simply cannot be duplicated in a classroom or textbook
For the past seventeen years, they have led students across the United States and around the world, helping them connect what they have learned with the places where history actually happened.
Our Mission
ClassicalTrips exists to help students develop a deeper understanding of history, culture, and the Christian faith through immersive educational travel.
Every trip is intentionally designed to strengthen a Biblical worldview while encouraging intellectual curiosity, servant leadership, cultural awareness, and a lifelong love of learning. Our goal is that students return home not only with unforgettable memories, but with greater confidence, stronger faith, and a broader vision for God’s work throughout the world.
