| Frequently
Asked Questions
How many leaders does it take?
Discovery will bring your whole church in the weekend. Parents,
Sunday schools, staff and the whole church will be invited
in some way to help and support the youth through the weekend.
This is what makes the weekend so fun and special for the
youth. We usually have about two adults for each youth at
the actual weekend.
Can we change the weekend any to
fit our needs?
Of course we want your youth to learn to create worship, give
talks, study the Bible and learn to build ministry around
their needs. Please let us know the changes you make or need
to make and we will share with you what we have learned from
other churches and we will learn from you as well.
How much does it cost?
The fee for the training event- through Internet or on site
training, the manual, the right to hold the weekend and all
help from our office is based on active worship attendance
of your church.
For churches with worship attendance under 100 the cost is $100, $200 if 100 or more people are
in worship.
Where do the youth stay at night?
The mid-highs stay at the church with adults and senior highs
go to their own homes.
Where do they get showers?
The mid-highs either shower at a YMCA type facitilty in your
area or they go to church members homes who live near your
church. Senior highs will shower at their own homes.
Do you have to attend an Emmaus before
you can lead the weekend?
No
What do you do at the weekend?
The weekend is for fun spiritual formation. There are talks
given by the senior highs, worship services, games and free
time, disciple groups, and lots of fun music, videos and skits.
Can members of other churches attend?
Yes visitors who do not attend church are always welcomed.
Some mid-highs will need a friend to attend with them. We
do not encourage you to invite groups from other churches
though- this spoils the impact of the power of the local church
reaching out to their own youth. Also we have found most problems
with teenage behavior occurs when you mix groups.
How long does the planning time take?
The weekend planning including the training, the senior high
trainings and the full team meeting usually takes five to
three months. The training is the best part for many of the
senior highs because it teaches them so many things about
their faith.
Where is the weekend held?
The weekend is held in your local church building. A few churches
who do not have buildings or have too many youth to fit in
their buildings rent a camp near by to host the event.
How many youth do you have to have
to attend?
We have found the weekend works great with as little as 12
youth in 6th-12th grade. Of course as many students who attend
your church are invited.
