Travel Information
Divine Peace Rockwall Campus is located approximately 45 miles east of the Dallas / Fort Worth airport (DFW) and 35 miles east of Dallas Love Airfield (DAL). There are no formal plans for ground transportation from the airport to the church. However, when you register for the conference you can indicate if you are flying in/out of the airport and the conference secretary will keep a list of names to share upon request.
If you would like to request subsidy for your travel expenses due to financial hardship, you can use the travel equalization form on the district website and submit it to the district secretary. In order to receive these funds you need approval from your circuit pastor. Please keep in mind that if you are driving, it may cost less to rent a car than to request the mileage reimbursement rate for the use of your personal vehicle. The district secretary will use the lesser of the two amounts.
