What to Expect
When the doors open at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, and the youth stream into the room pounding with great music, blazing with lights and surrounded by hundreds of other young people – God’s presence will be evident. And that is –
Faith in 3D invites youth from different Christian backgrounds to explore their common faith in Jesus Christ through worship, education, and community building. With three denominational sponsors, Faith in 3D is open to all Christian youth groups. Faith in 3D takes place the weekend that lifts up the life and ministry of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Thoughtful, Imaginative Worship
We’ll explore together God’s dream for the whole world through artistic liturgies designed to inspire rich lives of faith. With sermons from dynamic preachers, music by the extraordinary Twain’s Jackrabbit, bold prayers for the nations, and engaging spiritual practices; worship sits at the heart of the Faith in 3D experience. Worship will lead us to a richer imagination about who God is, and to respond to the needs of the world around us.
Dreams around the World
Students will travel by church group to explore countries at Epcot’s World Showcase through exclusive backstage access before the park is open to the public. They will be led by Faith in 3D leaders as well as leaders from the Disney Youth Education Series as they experience the culture, faith and fun that each country has to offer. Together, they will have an incredible chance to learn more about the world and dream about what the world could be!
The Legacy of Dr. King
Faith in 3D takes place on the weekend that lifts up the life and ministry of preacher and history changing activist, Martin Luther King, Jr. For young people, it is imperative that history connect deeply with their own personal struggle for sharing their faith, acting courageously, and making change in the world around them. Join Faith in 3D as we actively tell the story, hear the words, and consider the impact for freedom and community that this man of faith cultivated. Throughout the weekend we will dream about ways to continue the witness of Dr. King and provide specific opportunities to respond.
