Liquid Church Hosting Night To Shine For Special Needs Adults

PARSIPPANY, NJ - January 29, 2019 – One of New Jersey’s fastest-growing churches and recently ranked #43 in Outreach Magazine’s list of the Top 100 Fastest-Growing Churches In America, Liquid Church, has once again been selected to host Night To Shine sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation, an unforgettable prom night experience designed especially for teens and adults ages 14 and older with special needs.

Every guest of Night to Shine enters this complimentary event on a red carpet complete with a warm welcome from a friendly crowd and paparazzi. Once inside, guests receive the royal treatment, including a Beauty Bar with hair and makeup stations, shoe shining areas, limousine rides, corsages and boutonnieres, great food, fun games, and the chance to dance the night away… all leading up to the moment when each guest is crowned king or queen of the prom.

Liquid Church is expecting over 500 guests to attend its three proms in Parsippany, Mountainside, and Bridgewater, NJ. 1,000 Liquid Church volunteers will be on hand to create this special event, including 500 “buddies,” who are tasked with giving guests the VIP treatment and serving as personal hosts for each and every prom guest.

“It’s truly our privilege and passion to serve families with special needs, and hosting Night To Shine is an incredible way that we’re able to participate in this worldwide movement that’s changing the narrative on how people with special needs are viewed,” said Tim Lucas, lead pastor and founder of Liquid Church. “The need here in New Jersey is tremendous…in fact, New Jersey has the highest rate of Autism in the nation. So, in 2019 our campuses are partnering up to host three Night To Shine prom locations across Northern and Central New Jersey to bring this unforgettable prom night experience closer to these families!”

When Night to Shine launched in 2015, 44 host churches and 15,000 volunteers worked together to honor more than 7,000 kings and queens of the prom. Last February, 537 host churches and 175,000 volunteers came together to celebrate 90,000 honored guests with special needs. Now in its fifth anniversary year, this year’s Night To Shine promises to be the biggest yet, and the event is expected to take place in over 700 locations this February.

“I am blown away by how we are seeing God use the Church to step into this space as an advocate for people with special needs. It’s not about my foundation or the churches themselves, but about communities coming together to love and celebrate people with differences. Every town, every village, every state, every country needs a Night to Shine for their special needs community – a chance to be a part of something significant and life-changing…and to be blessed in the process,” said Tim Tebow, founder of the Tim Tebow Foundation.
