FAQ

How will my teenager be assigned to a Group?

We will assign groups depending on grade and gender. If your student brings a friend with them, we will place them in the group together.

How are Group Leaders chosen?

All Group leaders are required to complete a group leader application, attend an interview conducted by an Abba’s House Staff member, and have a clear background check in order to lead a group. We prioritize the safety of our youth, and we select our Group Leaders with the mindset of keeping our students as safe as possible!

 Where will my teenager be spending the night?

The group that your youth will be with during GO! Weekend will be assigned to a room at the Holiday Inn Express in Hixson TN near the church. Both the leaders and the students in each Group will be spending the night at the Holiday Inn Express for each night of their GO! Weekend experience. 

How will my teenager be transported?

Group Leaders are responsible for transporting the students in their group. We are also recruiting additional people to help transport if needed. All drivers will go through an interview and background check before they are allowed to transport students. Students will not be allowed to drive themselves, even if they are 18. 

 My teenager wants to invite a friend. Can they be in the same Group?

We love when students invite their friends! When completing the online registration, there is an option to complete that says, “I would like to be in a Group with ____.” Both friends must also fill out the same information when registering to be placed in the same group. This enables the AH staff to place both students in the same group.

 Can I pay using a payment plan?

Yes. You have the option of either paying for GO! Weekend in full upon registration or enrolling in a payment plan. Balances are due no later than July 28. A $50 deposit is due at registration.

 Will my teenager need spending money?

Students will not need to bring money for meals during GO! Weekend. 

 How can I get in contact with my teenager in case of emergency?

The best way to get in contact with your teenager is through their group leader, who will provide his or her contact information on the first day of GO! Weekend.

 How will parents be contacted in case of emergency?

An Abba’s House staff member will call the emergency contact phone number you provided when you registered your student.

 Are there opportunities for me to volunteer at GO! Weekend?

Yes! We love when parents serve at student events! There are several volunteer roles that you can be a part of, such as hosting a group or helping create a great atmosphere for our students during the Worship Experiences. You can register to volunteer at GO! Weekend at the top of this page.

 My teenager has food allergies. Is there a way to accommodate meals for my child?

Yes! Please let us know of any food allergies when completing the General Release Form online.  We will make accommodations for Students with food allergies/dietary conditions.
