Frequently Asked Questions

Through our Christmas Offering and the genreosity of our church, we are able to provide prayer, volunteers, and financial support for the global and local outreach organizations EastLake Church is partnering with. All of the outreach Eastlake Church helps fund is because of the generosity of those who give. From this giving, EastLake Church is able to fund the cost of each home built by volunteers. Volunteers are required to cover their own costs through the payment plan outlined below.

Deposits will be due upon applying for this trip and are non-refundable unless you are not selected for the team. If you are not selected for the team, your deposit will be refunded. The remaining payments will be due 4 weeks prior to your trip date.
