DNOW 2026 | THE WAY

2026 DNOW DATES

SEPTEMBER 18-20, 2025

Disciple Now (DNOW) Weekend is a student ministry event for 7th-12th grade students. It is a weekend retreat and a ministry of the Conway Perry Baptist Association. It will feature corporate worship and small group Bible study.  At DNOW, we will emphasize evangelism, discipleship, Christian fellowship, and missions. In corporate gatherings, students will be spiritually challenged and encouraged by our guest speaker and worship leaders. In host homes, students will be led in small group studies.

Our goal is simple: We are seeking to make disciples and grow disciples. The Bible clearly teaches that discipleship is more than going to church, wearing a Christian t-shirt, listening to worship music, or even attending a DNOW weekend. Discipleship is what happens when a person surrenders everything to Christ. It is a journey that involves every aspect of life.

The theme of DNOW 2026 is THE WAY. 

“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.’” — John 14:6-7
