Parents and Students!


Thank you for registering for DNOW 2024: TO BE FOUND FAITHFUL! It's only TWO-ish WEEKS away.


Our team has spent countless hours praying and preparing for this weekend. We currently have 252 students, 25 host homes, 66 small group leaders, and over 30 registration prep and food team volunteers for DNOW weekend.


Please take time to read through the Info Pages linked below. It should answer most questions about what's happening throughout the weekend.


Also, please take time to pray for our students, host homes, leaders, and staff today and every day leading up to DNOW weekend. These next few weeks are filled with holy preparation and prayerful expectation for how God will work in the lives of students.
