Follow 419 is a yearly gathering of DFW 6th–12th graders from local churches for a weekend of worship, community, discipleship, and fun. Formerly known as DNOW, Follow 419 Weekend is an opportunity for students to encounter Jesus, grow in their faith, and learn what it means to follow Him.

WHY "FOLLOW"

For years, Cottonwood Creek and our local church partners have looked forward to coming together on the last weekend of January for fellowship, worship, discipleship, and fun.

What began as a traditional DNOW weekend has continued to grow, bringing together more and more students from across our local church community.

As the event has grown, we are moving away from the traditional DNOW name and home group model and into something that better reflects who we are and where we’re going. Follow 419 comes from Matthew 4:19, where Jesus says, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

While the format and name are changing, the heart of the weekend remains the same: reaching students who are far from Christ, uniting the young church body, and equipping students to faithfully follow Jesus through every part of life.

Partner With Us

Follow 419 Weekend is an opportunity for your students to step outside their normal rhythms and spend a weekend learning, worshiping, and growing alongside students from churches across DFW. Through worship, teaching, breakout sessions, and meaningful community, students will be challenged to know Jesus personally, grow through God’s Word, and understand what it looks like to faithfully follow Him in every part of life.

We’d love for your church to partner with us as we invest in and equip the next generation to follow Jesus.
