DNOW 2025

DNow is a weekend designed for 5th-12th students to grow their relationship with God through worship, community, and, of course, a lot of fun!

This year’s theme, IMAGO DEI, is focused on helping students know that their worth and value are found in the Lord and how the world attempts to present a distorted version of that truth.

When: January 31st - February 2nd

 FAQs

  • DNow is for all students in grades 5th 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.
