Frequently Asked Questions
General
Is there a reason for more than one person from a church to attend?
Many churches prefer to have more than one person attend Summit. With the broad range of concurrent breakout sessions, multiple attendees can take home a fuller range of information. Many ministries use conference networking and meal breaks to begin shaping a plan and ideas for further ministry once they return home. In addition, two or more attendees often return home with a deepened relationship and vision that can form the foundation for future ministry.
Is this conference best suited for church leaders, lay leaders, non-profits, or organizations?
All of the above! Breakout sessions will include themes specifically designed for pastors, laymen, Christian orphan care non-profits, and individuals looking for more information on orphan care and ministry.
Is childcare available?
Unfortunately no childcare is available for this event. Parents are welcome to carry along babies as needed, but are responsible for them throughout the sessions. (There are daycare services in the area that are willing to serve you. CAFO has no formal relationships with local daycare services and use of services is at the discretion of parents alone.)
Can I bring my children?
Yes! Children old enough to enjoy and benefit from the Summit content (attending any sessions and/or eating lunch), may attend with a special student rate. (Please email info@cafo.org with the ages of your children to receive this student rate.) Babies may accompany you at no charge. (Please note that regrettably there is no childcare or designated play/nap areas available for small children.)
