Discipleship Now 2023

 

Overview 

Disciple Now is our in-house retreat for 5th-12th grade. It is a weekend packed with high-energy worship, games, age-specific small group times, dynamic messages, service projects in the city of Akron, great food, fun, and friendship. 

Students who participate are challenged to grow in their faith and to focus on God for the weekend. 

 

Details

It is not an overnight event. Students are encouraged to bunk up with friends who are attending DNOW with them. Parents are welcome to host sleepovers for the weekend, but students are also able to show up and enjoy all the activities without spending the night away from home. 

 

It is not a come-and-go event. Students may leave with their parent's written permission via the registration form for various reasons, but the experience is meant to be enjoyed in its entirety. 

 

Our Promise

We promise to create an experience that lends itself to spiritual transformation and fun. 

 

Meals

We do provide meals during the weekend. If your student(s) has a food allergy please notify us. Our food is made in large quantities, but we will do our best to accommodate and work with you to make sure your student's dietary needs are met during the weekend.

Cost

The cost of DNOW is $70 if paid before March 6th ($80 after March 6th). The cost covers 4 meals, a t-shirt, Spins Bowling, a swag bag, study material, transportation (from event to event), and other fun features for the weekend.
