Activity Planner!
Our prayer is that this planner will help to make planning your event easy, while handling the details thoroughly! We are there all along the way, so if you need any help at all, just let us know!
Ready? Set! Let's plan!
 What Type of Meeting?
The first thing to decide is what our focus for the meeting will be. We offer a HUGE list of retreats, conference themes, make it/take it, encouragement and learning workshops. In addition, we are happy to also add Book Sales, Trade Shows, Moms' Night Out events, 2-4 Hour retreats, one day mini retreats, and Bible Study events into our traveling schedule!
Before you take a look at the listing, think now about the greatest need of your group. It will help with narrowing down a theme for the time we will be together…
Take a moment to look at our newest listing of workshop topics. As you look through them, highlight those that you think would appeal to your group. Mark those that will meet the deepest
needs of your group…
Theme
Before moving on, jot down any ideas that you may have for an original theme. We are more
than willing to design a retreat around YOUR original theme as well. Just let us know how we
can work with you because that is our heart's desire!
Picking The Type of Event
Look back over our Information Sheet: Bringing Christie Berry To Your Area. Look at
the type of events we currently schedule. What type are you leaning toward?

Seasonal theme/topic
Finances: Figuring Tuition for the event
For Retreats, Meetings, and Workshops: Please note that we charge $5.00 per family PER workshop taught and $10 for Make-it/Take-it Workshops to cover materials (For example, if we teach one workshop during an evening Mom's Night Out, the cost per family is $5 each. If we teach a weekend retreat featuring 5 workshops, the cost is $25.00 per family)
Which type of an event did you prefer to schedule (keep in mind that One Faith Ministries
will need to approve this event before officially setting the date/event)?
How many workshops did you choose for your event (One Faith Ministries will help you
with choices)? Multiply by $5 for each session ($10 for Make-it/Take-it Workshops or sensory integration type workshops.)...
Any extra costs involved?

Refreshments?
Meals?
(Please list here, One Faith Ministries will review and determine if these are recommended.)
Choosing A Facility
When choosing a facility, please consider the type of meeting. Weekend retreats are usually more comfortable at a church, retreat center, or community building. If you want our bookstore to be brought in, it currently requires a minimum space of 20 lineal by 10 feet wide. We can set up a book room, or we can set up in many foyers, or even around the edges of a fellowship hall. We prefer a facility with easy access for the bookstore since the guys bring it in and some of the boxes are incredibly heavy. Make-it/Take-it workshops are hands-on and need tables for work space for all attendees.

Local Hotel Recommendations:
Often it is so difficult to go into a new town and find hotels. Just a few sleepless nights watching our vehicles while we have been on the road taught us the value in asking our coordinators for a good hotel recommendation! The best hotels are easy to find and conveniently located. Because
many of our attendees may be traveling alone or with their children, we appreciate recommendations in areas that are safe and comfortable for families.
