Even in a genre that already prides itself on relatability, he might be the king of connecting.

Volunteer Applications Now Open

wild goose festival volunteers
The difference between the Wild Goose Festival and a conference or a concert is that we come together in community to live out our call to walk in the way of Jesus. But even Jesus needs some helping hands. After all, somebody had to clean up all those extra loaves and fishes! Volunteers truly make the Wild Goose possible and provide the spirit of community that is at the heart of all we do.

If you have been to the festival before and want to experience it in a whole new way, or if you haven’t been and need to find a way to make it possible financially, maybe being a volunteer is the thing for you. Volunteers contribute 16 hours of work over the course of the Wild Goose and receive a festival pass in return. From helping set-up stages to keeping us clean and green, volunteers make the Goose a fun, safe, and happy community.

Volunteers commit to the purpose of the festival by supporting the values imagined in the Wild Goose Invitation and:

  • Loving the People
  • Being Hospitable
  • Building Community
  • Having Fun

Blessed are the Peacemakers

By 2015 Contributor

We are happy to announce the 2015 Wild Goose Festival Theme: Blessed are the Peacemakers.

From Ferguson to Pakistan, 2014 was a year full of angst and strife around the world and in our communities. When we gather this summer we want to reaffirm our place in the world as people of peace. As we plan Wild Goose for 2015 we are hoping to present a variety of speakers and offerings that will encourage and support us in our vocation as peacemakers.

While we’re still going to cover a wide range of topics at the Wild Goose, the focus of our being together will be on bringing peace to the world. In addition to the inspiring speakers, music and art Wild Goose is known for, we are excited to tell you that we are also going to incorporate more worship experiences this year.

With this theme announcement, we are opening the submission process for volunteer contributors. If you are interested in submitting an idea for a worship experience, talk, performance or art exhibit at the 2015 festival, please fill out our Contributor Submission Form by Saturday, February 28th.
