Community/Evangelism Opportunities

DNOW- Discipleship Now (DNOW) is a Citywide Youth Gathering for middle and high school aged youth and the theme for this gathering is called Unidentified. During Unidentified, you will uncover why you struggle with feeling unidentified, what it means to find their identity in Christ, and how your called to live in that new identity. You will be confronted with the life-changing truth that, by grace and through faith, Jesus exchanges our sinful identities for His perfect, righteous one. Our children are no strangers to this. Even though they'll try to fill this void with many things – what they do, say, think, wear, who they date, where they go…you get the point…it will never satisfy them. And that’s because their true identity will never be found in anything this world can offer. It can only be found in one Person. This gathering will be held at New Hope Church ( 530 Xenia Ave, Dayton, OH 45410) and will be a two day “block party” style event(although it is not an overnight event, kids will need to be picked up and dropped off). It will be held Friday evening August 21st from 5pm-9:30pm (dinner included) and August 22nd from 10am-6pm (breakfast, lunch, and dinner included). You can register yourself or your kids HERE
