You may apply to be a Door Holder if you are over the age of 25. For the gathering to be possible, we need Door Holders who are willing to serve throughout the entire gathering in various roles. You can learn more about being a Door Holder here.

We want students to be able to fully experience the gathering. Door Holders work hard behind the scenes throughout the entire gathering, serving the students who are participating; therefore, we ask all students to attend Passion 2023.

The first step to becoming a Door Holder at Passion 2023 is to complete the application. The Passion 2023 Door Holder application is available here!

You will not need to purchase a ticket to serve at Passion 2023, but Door Holders are responsible for their own travel expenses and meals, with the exception of lunch on Day 2, which will be provided for attendees and Door Holders.

Your schedule for Passion 2023 will depend on your specific team assignment, which will be communicated by your Team Lead. However, you should be prepared to be available to serve through the entire gathering.

You will need to arrive in time for a mandatory Door Holder meeting which will take place first thing in the morning on Day 1.

Door Holders will serve through load-out following the last session on Day 3. Your Team Leads will release you once your load-out responsibilities are completed.

We realize that emergencies sometimes arise and alter your availability to serve. If you apply and later find out that you cannot serve, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can fill your position. Teams experience significant challenges if notice is not given, so the earlier you can let us know, the better.

Passion 2023 is designed for college students, high school seniors, and their leaders. If you are a college pastor, you and your students will benefit most from you participating in the gathering with them.

Serving at Passion 2023 does not allow for much participation in the gathering itself. Please come willing to serve and fully aware that there may not be time to attend the gathering.

We encourage Door Holders to stay near the venue due to the full schedule of Passion 2023. To assist with this we negotiate discounted hotel rates for Passion Door Holders. These hotel options will be listed in the email you receive once your Door Holder application has been processed. You are also welcome to book in any of the hotel options listed on our hotels page. We strongly advise that you wait to make any non-refundable travel plans until you receive your team assignment.

All Door Holders are responsible for their own transportation to and from the venue.

A boxed lunch will be provided for Door Holders on Day 2. Due to a wide range of food allergies and dietary restrictions, we are unable to accommodate special requests regarding lunch. However, once lunch has been served to attendees, anyone needing to purchase other food will be released to do so.

In the days before Passion 2023, we will be preparing the environments for students and it will take several days to fully set up for Passion 2023. If you would like to help with load-in, please indicate on your application the days you are available prior to Passion 2023 or contact us here.

When the gathering ends, our teams begin breaking down the different environments. We ask that all Door Holders be available until released after the last session to assist with load-out.

We primarily use Door Holders from our church for these positions and encourage you to apply to serve on another Door Holder team. However, if you have specific experience in these areas, please feel free to note your experience on your Door Holder application.
