Below are the certain basic steps you need to follow to have a successful visit to SCOAN.

Step 1: Schedule a Visit

This is the first most obvious step. For international visitors, it is required that you schedule a visit to the Synagogue, Church of All Nations. Scheduling a visit is not just as simple as it sounds. If you have applied to visit the SCOAN and you are not getting any response from them, you can still visit SCOAN without an invitation. So you do not need to schedule a visit or fill out a questionnaire. Otherwise you have to be prepared to follow the procedure and meet the basic requirements.

• First of all, you should be ready to give information about your health. This may be by answering a few open and close ended questions. The reason for this requirement is not farfetched. A lot of people visit SCOAN for healing purposes hence the church will ask about your health at the point of your application to visit. You will be required to declare if you have an illness, health condition or disability of any kind. Although there are several people who want to visit for other reasons possibly for tourism, to listen to people share their testimonies and experiences, for spiritual retreat or even spiritual breakthrough, still the church will inquire about the state of health of any foreign individual applying to visit the church. Therefore if you are unwilling to declare or speak about your state of health, then you may want to reconsider your decision to visit the church.
• Secondly, you need to complete an online questionnaire. The questionnaire can be found on the SCOAN website and it serves as your application form for visiting the church. You are required to fill out the questionnaire completely and in all honesty. Note that in the questionnaire, you will have to;
• Fill in your basic details such as age, name and gender as well as nationality. In addition, there will be a space to indicate your contact address (your phone number and email address).
• About the details of your health status, first you will state whether you are ill or not. Furthermore, if you are ill, then you will need to indicate the form of illness. You may also need to give details as to the symptoms, when it started, how long you’ve been ill and so on. Almost similar to some of the information you will give at a doctor’s appointment. Since you are probably coming for healing too.
• In addition, you will be required to reveal your HIV status. Declare if you are HIV positive or negative.
• Foreign visitors will also be expected to notify the church and provide information on the presence of any form of disability or condition that will make moving around the church premises difficult.
• In the case where you are being accompanied, you are expected to provide information on whoever is accompanying you. This should be done in the “Comments” section of the visitation questionnaire.
• Finally, note that whoever is accompanying you must also fill his or her own questionnaire to schedule a visit.

STEP 2: Wait for Confirmation of your Visit

After you have scheduled your visit and filled the required questionnaire completely and accurately, the next step is to wait for a confirmation of your application. Typically, the SCOAN officials will get in touch with you to inform of you of their decision. You will be informed by the officials if they will let you visit and when you can visit.

Important Note;

It is important to take note of the following information as regards confirmation of SCOAN visit.

The questionnaire you filled is an application for what is usually referred to as the International Visitors Programme and you should not make travel plans except you have been accepted into the programme.
