Parents

We are glad your student is considering the LINC program. We know that parents often have questions about summer programs, and we'd like to answer as many of those as possible. Below is a list of frequently asked questions, as well as a letter from the director specifically for parents.

FAQ

1. Who is GCC?
   
   Great Commission Churches is a U.S. based fellowship of independent churches designed to equip, unite and provide accountability to churches and ministries that have a desire to fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. Our heart is that churches will model "New Testament Christianity in Action Today."
2. What are the living arrangements?
   
   Those attending LINC will be living at an apartment complex on the edge of the campus of USC in St. Petersburg, FL. There will be four to six people living in each apartment and each apartment will have its own kitchen.
3. Who do I contact in case of an emergency or if I have a concern?
   
   Ryan McKenna will be the project director. You may contact him or your local pastor.
4. What does the cost of the trip go towards?
   
   Most of the money goes toward your housing and food. The rest of it goes to project expenses and training materials for the participants
5. How will my child get money for the trip?
   
   Your child will find a summer job that will more than cover the cost of the project. They are also encouraged and equipped to build a ministry team that will support them financially over the summer.
6. Can I visit my child while they are on project?
   
   Yes. Please come and visit. We would love for you to come and even be a part of what your child is experiencing. We will have a special family weekend so you can visit and even meet others who have the child at LINC. However, if that weekend does not work with your schedule we would be happy for you to come another time; just let us know so we can accommodate you.
