Do I have to buy student books?
Yes. The small group lesson plans are intentionally written to provide a very interactive and dynamic learning experience for your students as they use these books. Your small group leaders teach from their lesson plan and your students will be engaging with their books. It’s also a great way to provide a long lasting memory of their experience. We really believe these books are full of application so your students can really be challenged with what they are learning. Be sure to check out our preview of the student books for a nice snapshot of what you’ll be getting.
How much is the study, and what’s included?
This is something that’s really different with DNowStudies from most resources available to you for DNow and/or Retreat weekends. With DNowStudies you literally pay one price ($69) to access a single study and all the content you and your leaders need. Lessons, guides, tips, training, videos, promo art, sermons, and more — it’s all there for $69. The $69 does not include books or handouts for your students for your event, content for after your event, or event t-shirts.
What comes after a DNow weekend for students?
If your students are ready to take their next step after DNow, LeaderTreks also offers student mission trips designed to help them grow through discipleship, leadership, and real ministry.
