Renewal Weekend is a three-day, two-night disciple-now weekend for students who are currently in grades 6-12. What is a disciple-now weekend? It is a weekend focused on discipleship of students in Christ, often with a specific emphasis on a topic or aspect of the Lord or His Word. The entire weekend is filled with engaging main sessions, group activities, fun surprises, and games! This weekend will take place alongside other student ministries in inner-city Oklahoma City. Students will arrive Friday night at Exchange Avenue Baptist Church, and stay overnight at vetted-and-approved student ministry leader's homes. Students will return home on Sunday after our morning worship service. Please view the information packet below for more information on the weekend schedule. The cost for the entire weekend is $40. Need help paying? Please mark "YES" on the scholarship question during registration.
