 All Smiles @ Discover
Discover is a special weekend designed to foster spiritual growth among 7th -12th grade teens, build strong interpersonal relationship, aid in development of church leaders, and introduce young people from a regional area to the Starkville congregation and University Christian Student Center (UCSC) at Mississippi State University.  		   


  

  Singing and Keynotes

   

 

  

Singing as a group
The singing at Discover is always uplifting, and our speakers do a good job presenting God's Word.  There is a time of singing and a devotional on Friday night.  Saturday there are three periods when we sing and have a keynote lesson.  Sunday, there is a Bible class that goes with the theme and our worship is based on the theme as well. 

  

  

  Discussion Groups

   
  

Discussion Groups

We know that it is important for you to be able to ask questions.  We also know that teens have a lot to learn from each other.  Twice on Saturday, we break into discussion groups that allow the teens and adults to discuss the topic that was just presented by the keynote speaker.    

   

  

  Housing  

   
   Members of the Starkville church

The families at the Starkville congregation provide housing for Friday and Saturday night.  Coming on Friday and staying until Sunday enhances the overall impact that Discover can have on your youth group.  		   

  

   Meals 

   
   Great Food
Friday night there are snacks provided during registration.  Saturday, breakfast is served at the church building.  Lunch on Saturday is on your own.  There are plenty of places to eat on campus or in town.  Supper on Saturday is served at the building.  Breakfast on Sunday is provided by your house parents.  We dismiss on Sunday, therefore lunch is not provided.  		   

  

Mississippi State University  

   
   Our congregation is located on MSU Go State!
campus.  Our University Christian
Student Center provides great opportunities for spiritual growth and Christian fellowship to our college students.  If you are thinking about coming to MSU we would encourage you to come to Discover.  You will get to stay with a family from the Starkville congregation, you will learn the layout of our building, see a presentation on our UCSC, and you will get a chance to see the campus.   

  

 

  

  Cost

   
  

There is a 15.00 registration fee for every teenager who attends which covers their t-shirt, the cost of breakfast and lunch on Saturday, and helps to cover cost for speakers and teachers.  Adults do not have to pay the registration fee and therefore do not receive a t-shirt.  However, adults can purchase a t-shirt for $10.00.

The majority of those who come to Discover attend the MSU football game on Saturday.  The price of these tickets are generally around $12.00 each.  All adults and teens who wish to attend this game must pay for their ticket.
