Apply For A GO Team

GENERAL TEAM INFORMATION

Committing to a GO Team will require team members to commit to team activities at least 3-4 months prior to the trip’s departure date.  Team members are required to attend weekly team meetings, participate in fundraisers and various other activities. Teams generally close 4-5 months before departure to allow for team bonding & preparation.  They are also generally limited to a maximum of 15 persons per team but due to COVID-19 some teams may be limited to a maximum of 10 people.  If you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us – we would love to talk with you more!

Also, don’t let money be the reason you don’t go!

FUNDRAISING

Don’t let money be the reason you don’t go! 

The Global Outreach Department believes if God is calling you to go, He WILL provide a way! GO will walk with you and your team to provide fundraisers, support and guidance to make sure you and your team are sent out.  Historically, GO provided teams with opportunities to fundraise an average of 25% of their team’s total trip cost!  Check out our Ways to Get Involved page for more information on current fundraisers.

Be encouraged…the Global Outreach Department is here to help you GO and continue your journey with God!
