Church Group Travel — Retreats, Conferences & Gatherings
Whether it’s a leadership retreat, a women’s or men’s conference weekend, a youth event, or a multi-church gathering, someone has to wrangle flights and rooms. Book Christian Travel—David “Dave” Small, Certified Fora Travel Advisor—helps churches book group travel with warmth and practical clarity, so pastors and admins aren’t stuck as unpaid travel agents.

Who this is for
- Churches planning retreats, staff getaways, or elder/leadership weekends
- Groups attending conferences, conventions, or denomination gatherings
- Multi-family or multi-campus trips that need shared flight or hotel coordination
- Christian organizations that want advisor help without a corporate travel desk
If your “travel committee” is one volunteer with a spreadsheet, this page is for you.
What Dave does
Dave helps with the logistics that eat ministry time:
- Flights for groups arriving from one or several cities
- Hotels near your venue, retreat center, or hub airport
- Timing advice so early sessions and late returns don’t strand half the group
- Destinations across Europe, Asia, and North America—including Italy, Poland, England, Finland, Spain, Thailand, Burma (Myanmar), and Malaysia—with wider reach via the Fora network
Tone: pastoral and practical. You’ll get clear options, not spammy countdown timers.
Pricing (honest, soft): No fee for basic booking help. When complex air coordination is needed, about $25 per person may apply—only when that work is real, and named upfront. (Same framing Dave has shared with mission partners: it depends on complexity.)

How commissions fund Jungle Discipleship School
Advisor commissions from Book Christian Travel support Jungle Discipleship School (JDS)—nine months of discipleship in the Burma jungle war zone. Church travel booked with care can also fund formation in a place where following Jesus costs more than a conference badge.
That’s the quiet “why” behind the brand—not a guilt pitch, just stewardship made visible.
Clear next step
Send the event name or destination, dates, estimated headcount, and whether rooms, flights, or both are needed.

FAQ
Can you book a block of hotel rooms for a retreat?
Yes—hotel support for groups and retreats is a core part of what Dave helps with. Share venue city, dates, and rough room count.
What if people are flying in from different cities?
That’s common. Dave can help coordinate multi-origin airfare so the group still lands in a workable window.
Do we pay an advisor fee just to ask questions?
Basic booking help has no fee. A modest ~$25/person coordination amount may apply for complex air work when needed—communicated clearly first.
Is Book Christian Travel only for mission trips?
No. STM teams are a big part of the heart of the brand, but church groups, retreats, and conferences are welcome too—same care, same commission-to-JDS story.
How do we get started?
Use the inquire form or email david.small@fora.travel. Include dates, destination or venue city, headcount, and what you’ve already booked.
