FAQs
General and Schedule
Student Weekend is a gathering that is open to anyone in grades 6-12. You do not have to be an active attendee at Houston's First in order to participate.
You can find the schedule HERE!
We have intentionally provided a break on Saturday for two main reasons. 1) We will be recreating our space to prepare for our Squad Wars Finale, our final worship set, and Silent Disco! 2) We've learned that breaks are great for students to be able to focus in the evenings!
Unfortunately, no. Students will be required to leave the campus during the break on Saturday. We will not be supervising students during the break, so they will need to have a ride off campus during that time.
There will be no host homes provided by Houston's First for students. This is not an "overnight" event.
Yes! Fill out this Come & Go Form to let us know. Sorry, but there is no price break for arriving late or leaving early.

The "Bring Four" Promotion is designed to encourage students to invite others that don't normally attend our church. If a student invites four students that are not active in our student ministry, and those four students successfully register for Student Weekend by Jan 1, the student that invited them will receive a free registration.

No! All students will be treated the same, regardless of scholarships, attendance, and church involvement.
If your student has a food allergy, you need to make sure that it is noted on their registration. Our team goes above and beyond to make sure that your student is fed safe foods for them without fear of embarrassment.

Speaker Sessions
This year, Speaker Sessions will be taught by Stephen Gregory. Stephen taught at Camp Rush 2025 to all of our campuses and has a heart for making the Gospel heard. He is the Pastor of a church in Beaumont, TX.
This year, Metro Worship will be leading our students in worship. Metro is a gathering for young adults in Houston that meets every Tuesday. This year, we've invested in many different production elements to make sure that their experience isn't like any other Sunday.
Squad Wars
Squad Wars is a new element that we are bringing to our student ministry. There will be four teams (based off of grade/gender) that each student will be a part of for the event. During Squad Wars, we will create an environment in our Worship Center like never before for students to participate in challenges, competitions, and other fun activities!
Each "Squad" will have a different color that correlates to their team. It is encouraged that you go all-out! Squad colors will be sent to you one week before Student Weekend.
