Youth D-Now Registration
“D-Now” stands for Disciple Now. In its simplest form, a Disciple Now is a weekend retreat for a youth group packed with an incredible worship team and a special speaker. This year, we will have two options: conference only (for students not spending the night at host homes) and full weekend. Students will spend Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday morning in host homes, while building community and diving deeper in small groups, culminating together at the 11:00 am service on Sunday, March 3 at First Baptist Church of Universal City.

WHAT IS THE THEME FOR D-NOW?
“WITH MY WHOLE HEART I SEEK YOU; LET ME NOT WANDER FROM YOUR COMMANDMENTS! I HAVE STORED UP YOUR WORD IN MY HEART, THAT I MIGHT NOT SIN AGAINST YOU.” —PSALM 119:10-11
Every day, students wake up with an enormous amount of things to do in their day. It’s a never-ending cycle of school, sports, clubs, work, friends, family, church…and not to mention all of the everyday tasks like brushing their teeth or combing their hair. All of these things take time and energy, so it is no wonder that students may end up sacrificing their quiet time with God to knock out some of the immediate stressors in their life.
It can be a challenge for students to find time to “press pause” and when they do, a lot of them aren’t sure how to invest in their time with the Lord. Do your students know how to seek God? In The Pause, they’ll learn how to pray, how to memorize Scripture, and how to study specific passages of the Bible. In all of these practices, students will become closer to God, and ultimately see the value in prioritizing their spiritual growth.
