Q: What is the difference between the Orange Conference and the Orange Tour?
A: The Orange Conference is an annual high-energy gathering of 4,000 cutting-edge church leaders and volunteers. The Orange Tour is purposefully designed to be a more laid-back, intimate gathering with a few hundred people expected at each tour stop. This kind of relaxed environment will provide you with the chance to interact and network with the Orange staff, as well as other church leaders in your area. This is also a great opportunity to get your ministry-specific questions answered.
The shorter travel distance and affordable registration fees allow churches to bring staff and volunteers that might not get the chance to attend the Orange Conference in Atlanta. The Orange Tour will provide an excellent time to introduce others to the Orange strategy, as well as how to implement it throughout different ministries. This is a great chance to create meaningful conversations among your team members as they are challenged, encouraged, and equipped with a strategy that will not only change your church, but also your community.

Q: I work with multiple age levels. Can I change from one breakout to another?
A: In an effort to keep distractions at a minimum, we request that you pick one breakout to attend. The best way to learn about the other breakout topic is to have half of your team attend one breakout, while the other half of your team attends the other breakout. Or, you can take advantage of the networking time by talking with other church leaders and Orange staff members about the breakout that you were unable to attend.
Q: How can I access my registration information to make updates like changing a name or adding a ticket?
A: Use this link to access your existing account information for the 2010-11 Orange Tour.

Q: Will you have resources available to purchase at the different tour locations?
A: We will have some resources available at each tour stop. If you can’t find what you’re looking for at our Orange Tour store, please visit our online store at www.therethinkstore.org.
Q: What is Orange?
A: You can find the Orange strategy in the color: combining the strength of two – red and yellow – for the brilliance of another, Orange. By combining the critical influences of the light of the church (yellow) and the love of the family (red), the Orange strategy shows a generation who God is more effectively than either could alone.
From preschool to college, Orange draws on elements of wonder, discovery, and passion, infusing them into children, students, and young adults. Why? To see God for who He is, to help young people see themselves the way God sees them, so that they can love others the way that God does.
The Orange strategy enlists Five Essentials to unite the church and family in a common ministry effort. These elements are the precursors to ministry success for the church and the family. For more information on the Five Essentials and the Orange strategy, please click here.
