Mission Project Costs
In most cases Mission Teams will need to provide the materials and resources for the projects they will be involved in during the week.  There will be times when other resources are provided.  This will be determined in advance of the Missions Teams arrival.

Projects:
Projects types available at Mission By the Sea are many.  Projects will be determined by matching the gifts of the Mission Team and the needs and availability of Ocean View Baptist Church.  Mission Teams will be asked to complete a gift survey and mission experience form to help determine what types of projects are a good fit for the week.

Dress Suggestions:
Please remind your students and adult leadership that this week is a mission trip in which they are helping sow the seeds of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Everything your group does, says and wears could potentially impact the ministry in Kill Devil Hills.  Do not let your students or adult leadership wear clothing that promotes, advertises or suggests anything offensive or illegal.  Students and adult leadership should not wear clothing that is suggestive or draws attention to the person wearing the clothing.  Remember our purpose is to draw people’s attention to God and not ourselves.  While we respect the autonomy of your church in making appropriate decisions as it pertains to clothing, we would ask you to remember that this ministry is a partnership effort between Ocean View Baptist, NC Baptist Men and your church.  

Check-in and Check-out:
Check-in and check-out times are to be worked out between the Mission Team Leader and the on-site coordinator in Kill Devil Hills.  While times are flexible we suggest that your group check-in between 3:00 and 5:00pm on Sunday afternoon and check-out no later than 10:00am on Saturday morning.  Mission Teams will need to clean the mission house before leaving.  Cleaning will require sweeping and or vacuuming, cleaning the bathrooms and kitchen and removing all trash from the mission house.

Free Time:
Mission Teams will coordinate their mission project locations and times with the on-site coordinator.  Mission Teams will have the opportunity to visit some of the local historical and fun attractions in the area.  For ideas about places to visit while on the Outer Banks Mission Team leaders are encouraged to visit the Chamber of Commerce website at www.outerbankschamber.com.  Please make sure you coordinate your free time activity within the free time arranged with the onsite coordinate.  While we encourage groups to take advantage of the attractions of the Outer Bank, this is a mission trip and missions should take priority over site seeing and fun activities.
