Our DiscipleNow Weekend is for students in grades six through twelve. While DiscipleNow (or D-Now) has been an event we have regularly held for our students for almost thirty years, many in our church are unfamiliar with what DiscipleNow is or why their students should attend.

What is DiscipleNow?

Students stay overnight at the church with college students and other young adults leading their groups. These small groups are divided up based on sex and grade. Additionally, students will have large-group teaching times, recreation, and worship here at the church. This weekend is a time where students are impacted greatly through Bible study, fellowship, and worship.

Leaving the Campus: Some students have games, concerts, and work they just cannot change. What then? Let Pastor David know and come and go as your schedule allows. We just need to know. If for any reason a student must leave the campus, we (adult leaders) have to know ahead of time. Don't stress about it. Cell numbers will be made available.

Recreation on Saturday: Recreation will include team games, relays, and activities that will ensure showers are needed afterward. It's going to be fun. Most games will be outside, but some may in the gym. Students will need to bring clothes to change into for recreation and toiletries and towels (we have showers) to clean up for our evening worship service.
