Night to Shine is a highlight of the year at our Valparaiso Campus!
Night to Shine is an unforgettable prom night experience, centered on God's love, for people with special needs, ages 14 and older. This is a night where all of our guests are kings and queens! We will be celebrating with more than 700 churches around the world simultaneously! To learn more about this worldwide movement, check out www.timtebowfoundation.org.
Save the date: Night to Shine 2026 will take place on Friday, February 13. There are limited spots available, so be sure to sign up to attend or volunteer beginning the first week of January!
We had such a great time at this year's Night to Shine! You can access photos below:
