Registration Process
This registration process has been created to provide flexibility for churches as they determine which youth will join in on this mission journey. The church will first register with estimates of participant numbers. Only later will final numbers and payment be needed.
1. Church Registration: Registering your church online allows you to reserve both youth and adult spots. It is ok if this number changes! Final payment and count is due June 23, 2025. On the Church Registration form you will provide the information for the Team Leader. The Team Leader for your church will be the primary point of contact who will receive all additional information to their email.
2. Receive Additional Information: By March 1st, you will receive additional information via your email that includes participant waivers, medical releases, packing lists, and your final count and payment form (due 6/23). If you register after March 1st, you will receive this additional information 1-2 weeks after you complete the online church registration.
3. Work Schedule and Housing Assignment: By July 17th, you will receive your housing assigment (Watertown First or Watertown Asbury) and a draft of the locations you will be serving and the daily schedule.
