SCHDULE UPDATE as of 3/14/2025

Due to the potential for severe weather this evening, and in consultation with church leadership, we are adjusting our evening schedule. This adjustment is based on emergency management personnel's current forecast and weather directives to our area. 

NEW FRIDAY SCHEDULE:
8:30 pm - All youth arrive with their luggage at the Refuge Youth Room at First Baptist Church. 

Do not go to your host homes at 7 p.m. Current indications are that this could be the strongest time for the storm line moving through. 

If the storm lingers or you are uncertain about getting safely to the church at 8:30 p.m., please use your best judgement and communicate with your small group leader. If we need to make adjustments, we'll update our social media accounts and send a text and email.
We hope all this is for naught, but safety is our highest priority.

DISCIPLE NOW 2025  March 14-16

Disciple Now (DNOW) is one of the biggest weekends of our year! It is a weekend of small groups, worship, service and fun for youth in grades 6 -12. DNOW begins at 7:00 pm on Friday and ends at 11:15 am on Sunday. We serve together, eat together and worship together! We also spend time in their small groups throughout the weekend. The small groups stay in homes of church members along with their small group leader. (All adults undergo background checks.)

Transportation is provided throughout the weekend in church vehicles and with approved church drivers.​
Our theme for the weekend is "OWN IT". Splatter art is one of the most unique ways of creating. In the hands of an artist, each splash of paint tells a story of focus, intention, and creativity. And once the artist is finished with their splatter painting, we get to see something one-of-a-kind. It's like that with our faith, too. Our experiences and the people we spend time with help us create unique works of art out of our faith, but how do we shape the faith we dream about in our minds? And who can we trust to help us create it? During this weekend, we'll explore how the right habits and community can help us because God invites us to own our faith, and true friends shape each other's faith.
