ATX Student Weekend is a Disciple Now (Dnow) style weekend where students stay in host homes and gather together for worship, biblical teaching, mentorship from adult leaders, time with friends, and a ton of fun.

Our hope is that this weekend will strengthen the faith and biblical friendships of our students at the beginning of a new year. We desire to help our students center their hearts on Jesus and build Christ-centered friendships so they can live on mission in their schools, sports teams, and neighborhoods.

ATX Student Weekend is not about the name of The Austin Stone, but rather about lifting high the name of Jesus in the city of Austin. We are collaborating with several churches throughout the city of Austin, and we have combined our resources to host an incredible weekend where more than 1,000 students and leaders will gather in solidarity to be empowered in their faith.

You don’t want to miss this!

Please note: each student must be registered separately

Registration fee: Regular: $110 | Late: $125

ATX Student Weekend will be hosted at Riverbend Church. Students from all participating churches will be staying in host homes throughout the city. Students from The Austin Stone will be staying in homes of fellow Austin Stone attenders who have applied and offered to open their homes to students and leaders. Time spent at host homes will primarily include sleeping, small group time, and breakfast. Those who have offered their homes have completed a screening process and background check.

If you have any questions about our host homes or would like to volunteer your home, please email your campus STUDENTS Director.
