INFORMATION ON HOSTING:

WHAT THE UNKNOWN TOUR PROVIDES:

  • This event at no cost to the host church.

  • We handle all ticket sales through our website.

  • We cover all travel & hotel expenses for our team.

  • We provide promotional graphics to share with your congregation.

  • Our event manager handles all details upon arrival and the ticketing at the door.

  • We are a non-denominational event. Here is our statement of faith: https://www.theunknowntour.org/what-we-believe

WHAT A HOST CHURCH PROVIDES:

  • An experienced volunteer sound person for sound + the slides (we provide the slides and send those 10 days before the event). Please bring in whomever normally runs your sound. Sound is a vital part of this show. 💕

  • 10 Volunteers (each volunteer gets a free ticket). They are asked to arrive 60 minutes before VIP seating starts. Volunteers will help with ticket check in and merchandise sales.

  • The church building, custodial duties & 5 Tables for the lobby (6 foot tables if available)

  • Provide a light snack for our team of 4 -5 ladies (ex: crackers and fruit!)

  • Water for attendees at intermission.

  • We ask that you provide men from your congregation to provide security during the event. If you are a larger event (600 plus) and you’d like to hire your local police for the event, the tour will cover that cost.

ABOUT THE EVENT:

  • Host churches need to be able to seat 500 minimum and located in a town that has a population of 20K minimum. Seating & population is a factor due to the number of tickets we sell to cover the cost of producing the event (ads/team we hire/flights/lodging).

  • Our event has several comedians and speakers in rotation with us, so when a host church books with us again the next year (or has us on rotation to come every other year), there will be new faces at your next booking. However, if you have some of the same team, the material will be new.

  • Ticket sales range from $18.50- $30. We offer early bird pricing, group tickets & VIP tickets.

  • We partner with Compassion International. Right before intermission, we take 5 minutes to share how ladies have the option to sponsor a child (right before intermission). We have a lot of experience in making this a short and seamless part of the event.

IMPORTANT INFO:

  • The host church does not pay The Unknown Tour if ticket sales are low, nor does the host church profit should ticket sales be high.

  • Our event needs to take place inside of a church sanctuary or an event facility (brick & mortar / no warehouse buildings / no gyms) with a sound system, screen, stage, lobby & the ability to dim the house lights and light up the stage. SEATING: No plastic seats or metal folding chairs. Overflow seating (watching from a screen) cannot be counted as seating.

  • This event is open to the local community of the host church. We love bringing in the local community to our host churches.

  • We don’t have outside vendors at our event, but the host church is welcome to have a church vendor table (church merchandise) and sell snacks, cokes etc (not advertised or expected). If you choose to do concessions, please remember to keep ALL water free. If you want to sell snacks, great! The only parameter is that the hosting venue doesn’t advertise that they are raising money (or taking donations) for the concessions. We partner with Compassion and that is the only fundraiser that the tour promotes. Simply list the prices and food and have fun! :) The ladies will love it!

  • We do not customize the production or promotion of our events. This event is streamlined from our advertising to the show itself. We don’t host special giveaways at the events, do local radio campaigns (we do all ads on social media), alter slides for announcements, do sponsored snack tables, promote or invite food trucks to the church hosted events. This is due to:

    • 1) The large volume of events we are producing.

    • 2) When a potential host church sees that our current event has added on a lot of wonderful additions (EX: large giveaways or food trucks), potential hosts expect they will need to duplicate. As a result, our events are streamlined. We are a turn key event. We want you to book your volunteers, your tech staff, sit back and have FUN! :)

  • Decorating: You are welcome to have a decorated picture booth for the ladies attending, but other than that, we ask that you do not decorate your church (or the stage) for this event. EX: Streamers on the stage). This falls under keeping out events streamlined and not adding work hours to our host churches.

  • We look forward to working with you and serving your women with a fun and heartfelt night! We don’t take this privilege lightly. THANK YOU for the honor of inviting us into your church home! 💕

    What women’s ministers had to say about hosting…

“The Unknown Tour was inspiring, uplifting, encouraging and spectacular! All words our ladies have used to describe the experience. Also, I would add biblical to that list. The ladies of the Unknown Tour were easy to work with and grateful for everything we did. We are having them return next year!” -Becky Brown, Southside Baptist Church Women’s Ministry Director

“The Unknown Tour was such a blessing to our community. The ladies of the tour use a good balance of humor and speaking truth into lives that resonates with many age groups and life situations. We invited other women in our community to experience the tour with our church family and received glowing comments from all about the evening. There is no doubt that we would invite them to speak to us again.” -Amanda Dowell, Georgetown Church of Christ Women’s Minister

“The Unknown Tour is an amazing ministry geared for women to grow closer in their walk with the Lord. Full of energy, God inspired messages from great speakers, worship and laughter. This is an opportunity for your women's ministry to let the Unknown Tour minister to your team as well. They do an awesome job in helping you organize for the event. I love The Unknown Tour.”
 - Kim Carter, Calvary Baptist Church Women’s Minister
