Be Part of The Story

It takes more than 1,000 volunteers to make The Journey happen and that work starts now! Whether you want to help prepare by building sets, sewing costumers, and cleaning the trails, or you want to be a part of the live experience - helping with check-in, parking, and operations or even transforming into a roman soldier, a candle shop owner in Bethlehem, or a shepherd that first hears the good news - there are so many ways to serve with The Journey!
