Central Valley
6 days — all ages
- SOAR is meant to be experienced as a team. Every individual will experience Jesus different through SOAR, but much of the ministry and processing happens as a team 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 connect with Jesus and ministry opportunities. 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 this button to start your registration process. 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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
We strive to make SOAR accessible to all ages and group makeup. There are bursaries available for those that don’t have the financial resources. We desire for you to encounter Jesus’ heart for mission and will work with you to set up a ministry that suits your group.
No one can answer your questions better than an experienced SOAR leader. They have worked through all the questions that you will likely have and have a passion to share about their experience. Contact me and I will connect you with an experienced leader that has led a group similar to yours.
The vision for SOAR Central Valley 2024 is for the English & Spanish churches to come together in partnership as we serve on missions.
To grow in (Cross Cultural Unity) as a single force, focused to foster a common objective.
To grow in (Ministry Skills), our calling, our Christlike character, our capacities, & chemistry.
To grow (building bridges of hope within our communities) as we befriend our neighbors through relationship building etc.
As we develop a love for local and global missions as we share our faith with unbelievers.
I invite you today to step out in faith to join us on missions this summer at SOAR Central Valley.
