• SOAR is meant to be experienced as a team. Every individual will experience Jesus differently through SOAR, but much of the ministry and processing happens as a team or family unit.

• Do you have a passion for mission and hope that it will grow in your own church? Tap a few people on the shoulder and invite them to come on SOAR with you.

• A SOAR team can be any combination of youth, young adults, families, singles and seniors but all with a heart to encounter Jesus and His Mission. Teams can range in size from 3 - 30+ people. A lot of the teams that come are youth groups, but SOAR is not only meant for youth. SOAR exists to help churches get connected with Jesus and local missions. Because of the intensity of SOAR both spiritually and emotionally we recommend that no one under the age of 13 come unless accompanied by a parent or guardian to help them process their experience.

Signing up your team helps the SOAR leadership prepare and plan for this year’s SOAR program. Click here to connect with us for registration information. The team leader will start the registration process but then everyone from the group will individually submit their own registrations after a request from the team leader.

1. Raise the finances: Each group has a different way of raising the amount needed for SOAR so as a team you can decide how you want to do this. The amount for SOAR is a donation so you will receive a tax receipt for your payment. 

2. Meet as a team: It is good to meet a couple of times before SOAR to get to know each other better and get a better understanding of what to expect on SOAR.

3. Find a mentor: We recommend that everyone coming on SOAR have someone to be able to process both the preparation for SOAR and debrief their experience.
