The team is formed several weeks before the A-TEC weekend. They meet together to get to know each other, to make preparations, and to pray for the success of the weekend. Many other adults and young people are asked to pray for all those who will be involved in the weekend.

A-TEC is designed for the maturing young person: juniors and seniors in high school, college aged men and women, and other adults. Many of the adults who first experienced an A-TEC weekend simply as a participant have been so moved (just as the young people are) that they join A-TEC as a team member on a later A-TEC weekend.
