What is TASC? TASC stands for Teens Actively Serving Christ. It is a one week Christian service trip for young people hosted by an RMS member church.
TASC participants or “TASCers” consist of young people ages 14-19 that have completed 9th grade as well as adults “sponsors” ages 21 or older. We require a ratio of 1 sponsor for every 5 students.
TASC events run from a Saturday to Saturday. A typical TASC week looks a little like this…
Saturday: TASCers will arrive at the host church in the afternoon and get settled in, play mixer games, have dinner and typically meet their shower hosts.
Sunday: The TASCers will worship with the host church and often enjoy a fellowship meal with some of the congregation, in the evening the TASCers will be briefed on the upcoming weeks projects.
Monday-Thursday: These are the work days. A typical TASC work day begins with time set aside for personal devotions followed by breakfast with the group. After breakfast, the group will break off into smaller work groups and set out into the community to accomplish a variety of projects such as landscaping, volunteering at local ministries, tree removal, roofing and so much more! After work the groups will go to their shower sites that are hosted by members of the congregation that have offered to open up their homes for showers. This is a great time of fellowship and a great way for the host church to get it’s members involved! After showers, the groups return to church for dinner. After dinner there is a main session with a time of worship and a message led by the weeks spiritual leader. After the main session everyone breaks off into small groups for a time of discussion and prayer. After prayer groups there is usually some free time before bed.
Thursday evening: Between dinner and main session the congregation will be invited to come fellowship with the TASCers, watch a slideshow of the weeks work, enjoy a talent show and dessert.
Friday: This is a day away for the whole group to enjoy some fun and relaxation after a good week of hard work, in the evening everyone will return to church, have dinner and break off for one more prayer group. And if the adults are feeling up to the challenge, there may even be an all nighter.
Saturday: In the morning everyone will have to say their goodbyes and the groups from various churches will begin making their way home.
Throughout the week TASC offers a wonderful balance of hard work, fun, bonding and of course spiritual growth. I know I don’t just speak for myself when I say that TASC is a blessing not just for the students, but for all involved. And the relationships you build will last far beyond the TASC week!
When is TASC? The TASC events are held from June to August.
Group reservation opens on the first Saturday of February.
Individual Registration begins the second Saturday of February.

This is a quick reference guide that will help you get started! This has the basic information to know when it comes to wanting to host a TASC!
It is important that if you are considering hosting a TASC you stay on track! RMS has developed this timeline to provide you an aid to make sure you are doing this! This timeline provides an excellent list of expectations of what should happen each month leading up to the TASC event. If you deviate from this a little bit do not worry, this is designed to be a guide and will vary due to different circumstances at each church!
Though hosting a TASC is a lot of work, we have developed a manual to make it a lot easier! This manual contains information on how to best plan for and execute a successful TASC. Remember this is not an RMS TASC this is your church's TASC so you have plenty of freedom. This manual is a work in progress and we try to update it yearly. Please feel free to make suggestions!
Chores are a great way to have the participants help and take ownership of keeping the church clean and cleaning up after themselves. Your chore charts will vary but this should get you going in the right direction!
This is just a suggestion of what your schedule could look like! Depending on some of your personal factors such as worship service times and distances to shower houses the details will change!
This letter is sent to the participants ahead of their coming to your church! This is a great way to let them know some of the projects and get them excited about this opportunity to serve. It also lets them know some of the expectations that you have for them!
