What Time should I be there?
Please arrive as close to 6:00pm on Friday September 22nd as possible. We plan on having registration finished by 6:30pm at which point doors will be locked. Once the doors are locked, we can no longer accept any registrations. We are finished at midnight, please arrive as close to midnight as possible.
Can I register online?
I decided not to have online registration. But you are more than welcome to download the registration form, print it and bring it to the church. If you bring it before the event, the receptionist can take it along with your payment, and she will be able to give you the bracelet! Otherwise you can bring the form to the lock-in itself, but you will still be required to wait in the registration line.
Can I contact the person in charge?
Yes, feel free to contact Pastor Evan anytime. The phone number for the church is 949-496-7411 and I am in the office during business hours Tuesdays-Fridays and will call back if you leave a message. Or feel free to email me anytime as well.
What activities will be there?
There will be a Velcro Wall, Bungee Run, Ping Pong, Air Hockey, Foosball, Video Games on Big Screens, Night Games, Crazy Games, a Balloon Room, and more.
Who can come?
This is our beginning of the school year major Outreach. Anyone in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade is welcome to join us. We encourage everyone to bring as many friends as possible. Also there will be an outreach message given by Pastor Evan so bring friends as many friends to hear that awesome message.
Can I come late?
Nope. I wish i could facilitate this, but we simply cannot. Being as this is a "Lock-In" we will have all doors locked once registration is over and the building's perimeter alarm will be set. Also we will be having a welcome and rules time once registration is over, and we would like all student to make that. So please plan your schedules to allow you to be at registation as close to 6pm as possible.
Can I help?
If you are interested in volunteering please email me and I would enjoy speaking to you and hopefully placing you somewhere to serve. There are many different ways to help, but we would love to have parents as gaurds. So in essense you would be chilling in a room or hallway making sure students are following the rules.
Will there be supervision?
Yes, and lots of it. All 10 of our Jr High Staff will be there. Click here to meet them. There will also be parent volunteers and college students as volunteers. We are planning on a 1 to 5 leader to student ratio.
Should I bring Money?
There will be candy and soda and food to buy at a small price. $5 is more than enough to buy a complete snack, any more and your student might come home with a case or Twix or Starbursts...
How do i Pre-Register?
There are two ways to Pre-Register. First you must fill out a Sign-Up card, available at Church or you can download one on line from the links section. Then turn your card in during any church service, Wednesday at 7pm or Sundays 9am or 11am. When a leader gets your completed card and payment, you will recieve a wristband immedietly. Wear the wristband everywhere, reminding yourself to invite friends to the event. This wristband is your ticket into the event. In the event that you lose your wristband, we will be very sad, but you will recieve another one at no charge. You may also pre-register at the church offices during business hours, Mondays-Friday 8:30am to 5:00pm. You may pre-register until Friday, September 22nd at 5pm, after that Pre-Registration is closed.
Can I register at the Event?
Yes, you may. However there will be two lines at the event, the VIP "pre-registered" line and the line for those yet to sign-up. If you pre-register and have your wristband, that tells us that all your paperwork and payments are in order and that you can walk write in, we will simply high-light your name and you can walk right on in. But if you have not pre-registered, there will be a longer line where we will file your paperwork and collect your payment. Also by pre-registering, you save $2.
Is there anything for parents?
We are looking for parental volunteers, but if watching Jr. Highers is too exhausting for you, Ocean Hills is having a night of worship the same evening. On Sept 22nd (Lock-In night) there is a night of worship featuring Sarah Kelly, David Edwards, and our own Holland Davis. The worship begins at 7pm and goes to 9pm. The event is also free! We are also looking for volunteers for just the 2nd half of the night, so if you desire, visit the worship night and then join us for the night games.
Can I sponsor a student or make a donation?
Why of course you can. You are welcome to always donate and every donation is 100% tax deductible. Simply mark on your check "Amped Donation " or "Amped All Night Donation" and drop the check off at Ocean Hills. You will recieve a yearly tax statement that will have the donation included on it!
