What is City Quake Fast Track?
It is a way to get a City Quake to your region even if you can’t get the specified number of churches to take part! The normal process for locking in a City Quake allows you to plan farther in advance to hold a date and then lock in a City Quake. For regions that are not able to meet the City Quake criteria, you would still be eligible for a City Quake Fast Track if you can get churches in your region that have a total attendance of 500 or more on their weekend services (half of what we normally require for the smallest City Quake).
How Does City Quake Fast Track work?
First, if you are either NOT SURE you can get the needed number of co-host churches / ministries on board for City Quake, OR you are SURE you CANNOT get the needed number, you would sign up for City Quake Fast Track Below!
Second, if City Quake fails to fill a date we were hoping to fill and we are 3 months out from that date, we will text or email the “Fast Track Pastors / Churches” starting with the ones that have the most congregants in their co-host churches. (For example, if region #1 has 3 co-host churches with a total of 650 attending weekly in those churches; and region #2 has 2 co-host churches with a total of 575 attending weekly in those churches; and region #3 has 4 co-host churches with a total of 750 attending weekly in those churches…we would first contact Region #3 giving them 24 hours and right of first refusal. If they can’t make the date work, we would contact Region #1 with the same offer and then Region #2. Basically, you have a very short window to decide if that date works for you. If you have to pass on the date, no problem, we will come back to you again the next time we are 3 months out and need to fill a date!
What if we don’t have 500 yet in our co-host churches? Do we have to wait to sign up for Fast Track or can we sign up now?
You can sign up now and continue working toward finding more churches or ministries to be co-hosts. It is unlikely we would commit to a City Quake with less than 500 people in the Co-host churches but, we are always praying as the Lord has, in the past “overridden our criteria” as we felt Him saying, “They don’t meet the guidelines but do it anyway!”
What if you contact our region and offer us a Fast Track date but we are not able to decide in 24 hours?
If your region can’t give an answer in 24 hours, we would move on to the next region and it would then become a “First to Commit, First Serve” process.
What is City Quake Tremors?
City Quake Tremors is an inexpensive way to bring the full CQ training even if you don’t meet the requirements for the larger scale CQ events. CQ will send either a regional director or a team member who will oversee all aspects of the event. This same “host” may provide some live training but the majority of the teaching will be done by video. The attendees will still receive the same City Quake experience and training. We fully expect that the news of the impact of this training will spread in the region and that the results will be more churches will want to come on board for a future larger City Quake.
Will a City Quake Tremors have the same schedule of a typical event?
Yes, we are prepared to provide a full 10 sessions and 6 “Love In action” times starting Wednesday night and ending Saturday night.
Who can schedule a City Quake Tremor?
City Quake Tremors are reserved for those who have been trying to bring together churches in their area for a period of time but have had success. Tremors would be your way to build momentum with a smaller group of people with the goal of increasing interest for a larger event in the future. If you feel like you have exhausted your options for the time being, then we would love to open up the conversation about setting up a tremor instead of a typical CQ event. We have seen over and over again that “something is better than nothing.” This Tremors event just may be the jump start you need for a larger event down the road.
Who is responsible for the financial expense of an event?
City Quake will be responsible for the financial expense of the event. (With the exception of a tremors event) We will work to recover the expenses through registration fees, nightly offerings and co-host contributions. For a Tremors event co-hosts will have to contribute a minimum of $2000 before we lock in an event.
What does your event schedule look like?
What does it mean to Co-host?
- First and most importantly, we ask for the senior leader and hopefully any pastoral staff to clear their schedules for all 3 1/2 days includding the outreach times. We want EVERYONE to be immersed in the culture of Power Evangelism so it soaks in a bit deeper. Also, this will allow you to more easily attain the next item.
- Second, we ask that you will commit to pray and do all you can to see that a minimum of 10% of your congregation attends to full 3 1/2 days of City Quake. We know that you can’t force anyone to attend an event…of course! BUT, if you have indeed cleared your schedule, you will be able to make the honest announcement, “City Quake is a high priority for me and I have cleared my schedule and intend to be there for the whole event and I ask you to consider doing the same! We will do this together!” When senior leaders do this, we find that at least 10% of their congregation has attended…and SOMETIMES, up to 50%!
- Third and finally, we ask that each co-host contributes financially toward the event. Once the dates are locked in, we ask for you to send in a one time donation with a goal being $1000 per co-host. But please hear us…we understand that $1000 could be a stretch for some churches or ministries. So, we ask that you you would pray about what you can do. If that is $500, $250 or even $50. City Quake will have a large layout of funds before the event even begins and we hope to recover that investment during the event. Whatever you “invest” is appreciated!
