Looking Forward to 2023:
U.M. ARMY will be offering mission opportunities in 2023! We encourage you to check with the various U.M. ARMY Region pages to see what those offerings will be as they will differ slightly based on State and Local mandates and on the Regional Boards direction.
REGISTRATION FOR U.M. ARMY IS AN EASY TWO-STEP PROCESS:
STEP 1 -REGISTER YOUR GROUP:
Here is how it works:
- Your group should choose the program that best suits your needs.
- Check with the U.M. ARMY Regional office to determine if space is available in the program of your choice.
- Fill out the group registration on-line using the Group Registration Links at the bottom of this page or on the Region pages.
- At the time of Group Registration, you will be asked to pay a $25 Application Fee for each group.
- Once your church group is registered, you will receive an invoice from our business office which includes the $75 per person (non-refundable) deposit balance. Please see the payment schedule below.
- Total cost varies by Region and your choice of mission opportunity.
- Your Group Registration must include the correct ratio of Adults based on the expected number of youth. For instance: a minimum of 2 adults (with insured vehicles) for every 5 youth. Groups bringing 6-10 youth require 4 adults, etc.
STEP 2 -REGISTER AS A PARTICIPANT:
After your group has registered for a U.M. ARMY Mission week, each individual participant should fill out the online individual registration form. Your church coordinator will supply you with a link that is unique to your church and program. Simply click on that link and fill in the information as required. We encourage you to register early!!!!
Individual Registration Deadlines:
- Participants are asked to submit their Individual On-line Registrations as soon as possible to assist in planning and placement.

U.M. ARMY Refund Policy
As U.M. ARMY and local churches are all adapting to an uncertain and changing world, the U.M. ARMY Board has enacted a new, uniform Refund Policy in an effort to establish financial expectations that protect both U.M. ARMY and the local church. Please contact your Regional Director if you have any questions.
We look forward to being in ministry with you!
