Details
We are excited to host our 2026 Disciple Now weekend. This event is for 7th-12th graders to gather for a weekend of biblical teaching, small-group discipleship, and relationship-building. This year's theme is "Established in Faithfulness," focusing on the life of Joseph found in Genesis.
Here are answers to frequently asked questions:
1. What is D-Now?
D-Now is a weekend experience that includes large-group teaching sessions, worship through song, small-group breakout sessions, games, food and plenty of time to hang out with friends.
2. When is D-Now?
D-Now will take place March 27–29. On Friday night, everyone will gather at the church for a large group teaching session before heading to their assigned host homes. The weekend will conclude with the Sunday morning worship service at Founders.
3. How does D-Now work?
Each student is assigned to a small group for the weekend. Small groups are organized by grade and gender. Each group—along with their leaders— will stay at a host home, where they will participate in small-group sessions and spend the night. Host homes are provided by Founders members who have graciously opened their homes to students. All host home couples and leaders have a completed background check on file.
4. How much does D-Now cost?
The cost of D-Now is $40.00. This fee covers food, the guest speaker, t-shirts, and other event expenses.
5. When is the deadline to register?
The registration deadline to guarantee a t-shirt is March 6. Students who register after the March 6 are welcome to attend but are not guaranteed to receive a t-shirt.
6. Can my student bring a friend or is it only for Founders’ students?
Friends are welcome! They just need to sign-up and pay before the deadline as well.
7. Will students stay in small groups all weekend, or are there times when everyone is?
Both! On Friday evening, students will gather for a large-group teaching session. On Saturday, students will come back together at the church for lunch, games, dinner, and another large-group teaching session.
