DNow is a weekend designed for 7th-12th students to grow their relationship with God through worship, community, and, of course, a lot of fun!

This year’s theme is Set Apart, focusing on the holiness of God and how we too are called to be holy, as God is holy.

 FAQs

  • DNow is for all students in grades 7th through 12th! Whether your student attends FBCVA, is at Van Alstyne ISD, or is local to the area, they are welcome to register and be a part of the weekend.

  • The cost is $100 per student, and this includes all activities and meals.* Our Saturday afternoon activities are offsite, and students can bring money to purchase additional snacks if they would like.

  • Yes! We do have scholarships available. Please email Sloan at sloan@fbcva.com if you want to donate for a scholarship or have questions about receiving assistance.

  • Students will all have Host Homes on Saturday to hang out and have dinner at. Overnight Host Homes, however, will be offered to our high school students only (9th-12th Grade). Host Homes will be background checked, and parents will be provided with contact information should they need to contact their child.

  • Groups will be divided by grade and gender. Depending on the number of students per grade, some groups might be merged together. These groups will be led by college students, many of whom have previously been part of FBCVA Student Ministry.

  • Parents and students will be emailed a packing list of what to bring for DNow. The list will also include items that we will ask students not to bring for the weekend.

  • We have a team of volunteers who will make sure all of our students arrive to the different locations over the course of the weekend.

  • We would love to answer any questions you have. Please email Sloan at sloan@fbcva.com with the subject line “DNOW 26.”
