Apex is open to all incoming high school (9th grade) students through the summer following their high school graduation.

Each team is asked to bring at least one adult leader for each gender; the preferred ratio is one leader for every eight to 10 students, and a minimum of three leaders per group. Adult leaders are required to be 19 years of age or older.

There is a $100 non-refundable deposit per participant due at the time of registration.

We will email final invoices on (or around) May 1. Balances are due 30 days prior to arriving at your ministry site.

See the Registration Payment Policy for details: https://helps.efca.org/bundles/apex-missions

Registration includes room, board, Apex tools (pre-trip and on-site training materials) and Apex staff. See site description for site specific details.

Every participant will be required to complete an EFCA liability form and a participant information form.

Every participant 18 or older will also be required to complete a background check and the EFCA MinistrySafe Child Protection materials. These will all be made available to you in the weeks after registration.

U.S. teams are responsible for transportation. Transportation is required during the week to get to various ministry opportunities. Because of the challenges of city traffic and parking, 15-passenger vans are the largest size vehicle that can be accommodated. We would also appreciate a couple extra seats in your vehicles for the on site Apex staff to ride with you.

International teams will have on-site transportation provided.

Apex Missions requires team preparation in advance of your arrival. Teams will receive a Prefield Training Guide designed to equip your team with "Here to Everywhere" missions training and to help you adequately prepare for your site specific ministry.

Prefield training meetings with your students are expected.

US sites online registration closes March 1.

International sites online registration closes February 1.

Payments can be made by credit card online at the time of registration. A 3% credit card fee will be added.
