SIMULCAST OPTION
$99 for simulcast
We’re also offering a simulcast option for churches that would like to host their own AWSOM retreat locally. This is a great option for those churches for whom travel may be an issue or for those who like the ability to create a smaller environment for their students.
When you register to become a simulcast location you will be provided with:
- Links to the video streams
- A digital toolkit and coaching to help you host the retreat
- A chance to connect with other simulcast leaders on how to make your retreat a success
ACCOMODATIONS
We’re offering sleeping accommodations at Tabernacle Baptist Church.
It’s a chance to build skills that are needed for short term missions trips like sleeping on the ground with simple bedding and building community with other team members. (Lodging instructions and packing list will be provided to leaders after registering)
