The majority of the costs are in lodging and food. Each team’s budget is a different so it’s really up to you as to how fancy you go. All of the churches listed below have facilities that could be used by a visiting team. Contact them directly and ask about their facility and the price/schedule availability.

Our friends at First Baptist Church of Doraville let us use their big kitchen for group meals and have been very helpful with that. We just have to make sure that we leave the place absolutely spotless. I usually suggest that we give them a love offering for their utilities as well, but that’s up to you. Several of our missions have kitchen facilities, but if you’re cooking for a big group it’d be better to use FBC Doraville. You can call Renee Glass at 770-457-0244.
