Our DiscipleNow Weekend is for students in grades six through twelve.
What is DiscipleNow (D-Now)?
This year our students will gather for a rally/service on Saturday evening and then return to their respective homes. Unlike in the past, our weekend will last all day Sunday and end on Monday at noon (It’s a school holiday - MLK Day). We will gather in our student building for Bible study led by college students and adults. We will gather for worship as a church family at 10:45am and then remain at the church for lunch, games, more small group studies, and a focus on growing as disciples. Many students will stay overnight at our church on Sunday evening (we have locker rooms, showers, and designated and secure spaces for boys and girls to sleep.) This weekend is a time where students are impacted greatly through Bible study, fellowship, and worship. The weekend is for all students, not just those who are members or attenders of First Baptist Church.
