FAQ's

When do I Have to Register By?
March 25th. Just do it, we have travel and staffing needs to work out and can't do that without knowing who is coming.

How Old Does My Child Have to Be?
Any student that has competed 8th - 12th grade is eligible. Students entering 8th grade and lower are not.

What is the $150 Deposit For?
The LIFE Conference requires a non-refundable deposit when we register a group. All group registration will be done through Dover, we will gather your info and money and handle coordinating with the conference?

How is My Child Getting to Orlando?
We are tentatively planning to fly, however, depending on the number of individuals we bring it may be more economic to take a charter bus. We are working diligently to ensure that we pick the best option based on cost and time of travel for the whole group. 

What is the Total Cost of this Trip?
We are currently estimating that the trip will cost us about $1,500 per person. We understand that this may be a significant financial commitment and desire that no one would back out due to cost. We have both fundraising and scholarship opportunities to reduce your portion of this cost. Contact Tim Henriksen if you have any financial concerns.

Are there Fundraiser Opportunities?
You betcha! We will be partnering with the MOPS ministry that Dover participates in to offer area parents childcare for a date night. This is tentatively scheduled for April 26th. We are also looking into other community service projects in which our labor could be sponsored.

Is this Conference Even Worth It?
Very much so. When I (Tim Henriksen) was in high school I had the opportunity to go to LIFE 2010. During one of the large group sessions a missionary came up to share with the conference and he shared a story of a village that his team stopped in looking for directions. While there they asked the locals if they had ever heard of Jesus, to which the locals inquired if Jesus was a frenchman. (In case you were wondering he is not). The people asked the missionary to share this Jesus with them, when he informed them that he could not stay they asked for someone to return to them to share the good news of Christ and again the missionary had to inform them that no one would be coming back. The mission simply did not have the workers or resources. This story broke my heart in a way that is indescribable and in that moment I felt a clear calling into youth ministry. In 2012 I started a journey at Northwestern pursuing a youth ministry degree, in 2013 I began volunteering with the youth at Dover, and in 2015 I took over as the Director of Youth Ministry. In 2016 I finally graduated with a B.A. in Youth Ministry and to this day I still credit my ministry calling to that LIFE Conference back in 2010.
