Friday, October 10 to Sunday, October 12, 2025 | First Dallas Deaf Church
$50 Per Student
DNOW isn’t about pretending, performing, or playing church.
It’s about being real. Real conversations in your language. Real people who understand you. Real hope that lasts.
For one powerful weekend, Deaf and CODA students from across our area will come together for an experience you won’t forget. There’s high-energy Deaf-led worship, clear and powerful messages in ASL, small group time to ask the questions most students are afraid to talk about, and—of course—ridiculous fun, late-night laughs, and moments you’ll carry with you long after it’s over.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t even have to believe everything we do. Just come as you are—bring your doubts, your questions, and your real self.
We believe there’s more to life—and we’re not afraid to prove it.
This is DNOW. You in?
