March 1, 2011
Deadline for $250 deposit to secure your student ministry’s involvement in WIRED 2011 and to give an estimated number of participants that will be attending WIRED with your church in 2011.
We also ask that each church give us a summary of the number of participants they will have for each Ministry Track selections by March 1st. An example would be:
Total Participants – 54, Ministry Track Choices – 25 Children’s Ministry, 15 Social Ministry & 14 Construction
Checks made payable to WIRED 2011 may be mailed to
Columbia Baptist Association
1308 Ross Clark Circle
Dothan, AL 36301
All churches from the Columbia Baptist Association must have their deposit in no later than this date to secure their spot in WIRED 2011. CBA churches wanting to register after this date are subject to the number of available spots left.
If the estimated number of participants does not reach our maximum capacity of 800 by March 1, WIRED will continue to accept churches on a first come, first serve basis until all remaining slots are full.
Churches who paid their deposits by the March 1st deadline will get first choice on lodging and the placement of their church’s participants in the different ministry teams that will be offered for 2011.
Any church wanting to participate after we have reached the maximum capacity of 800 will be put on a waiting list and will be selected on a first come, first serve basis if and when openings arrive.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGE FOR 2011 – Your churches $250 deposit will go directly towards administrative expenses and NOT be deducted from your final payment that is due on June 1st for the total number of participants you will be bringing with you to WIRED 2011. For the past three years, WIRED has consistently come up short in its finances, and this is the only way we could attempt to correct our financial problem without increasing the cost of WIRED 2011 to $150 per participant. Considering the current economic conditions that we are facing, we felt that it would hinder some students from attending this year’s mission week and elected to keep the deposit for administrative cost and leave the cost per participant the same as last year.

Additionally, this is also the deadline for each participating church to give us a list of the transportation that you will be providing WIRED to transport participants to and from ministry site locations.
