DTown 2025

The worship services and activities are designed for students to have fun, build friendships, and consider Jesus.

Frequently Asked Questions for DTown 2025

What safety precautions will be implemented to create a safe environment for each DTown participant? Small Groups will spend one night in the home of one of the students in their Small Group. Host home families are known and background checked. Each student will be expected to abide by rules and expectations that create a safe environment for all DTown participants. Safety expectations include: no all-nighters, no pranks, limited cell phone usage, and students with cars will be expected to turn in their keys to Small Group leaders for the weekend.

When does registration close? Registration closes at 11:59 PM on Monday, February 3, 2025.

Is there a cell phone policy? Students in grades 6-8 will give cell phones to Small Group leaders for the weekend. If parents need to communicate with students throughout the weekend, they can contact their Small Group leaders. For high school students, leaders will monitor cell phone usage and access during DTown at their discretion. The goal is to allow for an undistracted time for students. If you need regular communication with your student during DTown, please let your Small Group leaders know.

Will there be a price adjustment if a student can only make it to part of the planned schedule of events for DTown? Our policy is to keep one “ticket price” and allow kids to come and go. With hundreds of participants, it is difficult to accommodate price adjustments for each unique scenario. Students who wish to participate in any part of DTown are required to register as if they were participating in the entire weekend. We understand there are unavoidable conflicts and students are allowed to come and go as long as they communicate and coordinate their schedule with their Small Group leaders.

What if our family can’t afford the registration price? If finances are an issue, we will work with families to pay over time. We also encourage them to share the need with their Small Group, Community Group, or extended family.
