FAQs

DRESS

It is our desire to be a godly testimony in both our behavior and our dress. Clothing should not advertise a worldly lifestyle.

Guys can wear nice jeans or casual pants and a t-shirt for the Thursday morning sessions and afternoon activity. (Make sure logos and/or writing on shirts, hats, etc. are appropriate.) Nice casual pants and collared shirts should be worn for evening services and on Friday.

Girls can wear modest, knee-length skirts, basketball shorts, or culottes, and a loose-fitting top for the Thursday morning sessions and afternoon activity. (No low-cut, immodest, or tight-fitting clothing.) Knee-length skirts or dresses should be worn for evening services and on Friday.

LODGING

Lodging is not included in the cost of registration. However, WCBC works with several local hotels to provide you with quality options. Find those options here.

WHAT TO BRING

Bring clothing for three days of exciting activities and preaching services, your Bible, a pen, bath articles, some spending money, a soft heart, and a good attitude.
