DNOW (Disciple Now) is an exciting “in-town” weekend retreat, giving students, grades 7-12, an opportunity to press pause in their busy lives and focus on their relationship with Jesus and one another.

Do you ever wonder what it actually means to live a good life? Our world is driven by success, but what IS success? How does our faith impact and change our definition of success and the “good life?” During the DNow weeked, we will unpack what it means live out faithfulness to Christ in a world that is driven by success. Our DNow speaker this year is Rev. Jesse McCain, who serves as the Pastor for Missions at First Baptist Alexandria. Jesse is passionate about challenging the patterns of this world and leaning into the truth of scripture and the abundant life God has for us. Pastors Kaelyn and Jesse are excited about this year’s theme and the impact it will have on the students at Columbia!

This is the perfect time to invite a friend! Even if they’ve never explored faith, everyone can understand the challenge of striving for success in our culture. Guest friends can register separately with their email, they don’t have to be part of Columbia or Realm!
