As churches register for Challenge, they have the option of also registering for Outreach by choosing day(s) to participate and their desired type of Outreach opportunity. (Read below for further details.) If a church doesn’t register for Outreach when they initially register for Challenge, they can update their registration by June 15, 2026.

• We can accommodate approximately 1,500 outreach participants per day; we have historically maxed out this availability.
• We expect churches to participate in outreach with a 10:1 student-to-leader ratio.

Deadline for registering and for requesting registration changes is June 15.

At Challenge, churches have the opportunity to customize four afternoons for the unique needs of their group. Due to the logistics, transportation needs and community partnerships involved, groups are limited to two afternoons of outreach.

When submitting outreach registration, churches need to choose which day(s) they would like to do outreach.

If churches would like to do more than two afternoons of outreach, there will be a place to indicate interest in additional outreach opportunities should they become available.

There are also many great Equipping Labs and recreation options available in the afternoons. Please be prayerful, strategic and realistic about how you customize your week.

We are pleased to offer two different types of outreach.

Prayer

Prayer outreach is intercessory and evangelism-based outreach. We utilize prayer stations and prayer walking.

• Prayer Stations provide opportunities for students to engage people in the community in non-threatening ways. Training will be provided.
• Prayer Walks, in partnership with local churches and ministries, will provide needed prayer support for spiritual breakthrough in a targeted community. Training will be provided.

Service Projects

These projects mobilize groups to serve with their hands, muscles and hearts. Spread throughout the city, these projects serve the city, local ministries and community. Projects could include restoring parks and playgrounds, working with homeless shelters, partnering with other city organizations and coming alongside local churches as an extension into their communities.
