WHAT IS DNOW?
Disciple Now (DNOW) is a local retreat weekend for 7th-12th grade students. DNOW will take place Friday night to Sunday morning, students will participate in large group worship, small group Bible studies, and Saturday afternoon recreation. Freshwater Church Partners will host students in their homes, organized by grade and gender, and all volunteers are cleared with background checks, interviews, and appropriate training.
Want to Serve Our Disciple Now Weekend?
Freshwater Church has local mission on our hearts! Will you join us in serving God by helping invest in the lives of students for the sake of Christ's Kingdom?
We’re looking for people to serve during various times the weekend of Friday night, April 22 through Sunday morning, April 24 for Freshwater Church’s very first DNOW Weekend! In order to serve the number of students we anticipate attending we need about 80 people to serve throughout the weekend.
We also ask that all those who are serving to attend a DNOW Meeting to be held on Wednesday, April 20.
