Frequently Asked Questions

Are kids allowed?

Yes, children are welcome. However, the event is primarily designed for adults, and teenagers are especially encouraged to attend. No childcare is currently available, but we are working on creating a space for children so parents can still participate while keeping them occupied. Please check back soon for updates.

Do we need to attend each night?

Each night builds on the previous one, but you are welcome to attend even if you can only come for a single evening. We encourage any level of participation, as we believe the Spirit can work regardless of how many sessions you attend.

Can we arrive late or leave early?

Come for what you can. If work or other commitments make you late, please still consider joining. If you need to leave early, for example, to get children home for bedtime, we completely understand. Please don’t let scheduling concerns keep you from attending.
