What do I need to know as a prom attendee (or guardian)?

• What is Jesus Prom anyway? Jesus Prom Mid Mo will throw a party for individuals with disabilities loving them like Jesus and relying on community volunteers and donations.​ Luke 14:12-14
• What happens when I get there? You can expect to receive the royal treatment at Jesus Prom! With a red carpet entrance, photo opps, limo rides, food, games, face painting, entertainment, dancing, and hanging out with friends old and new, you will be sure to have a night to remember! If your guardian is not going to escort you, you will be paired up with one of our volunteer buddies who are ready to help you have a great time.
• ​Why do I need to pre-register? Jesus Prom is growing each year, so to ensure you have a spot, we need you on our list! We need information from you that will help us make sure you are having a great evening. We will ask questions such as T-shirt size, food allergies or diet restrictions, your mailing address (so we can send pictures!) and more. Thank you for your cooperation.
• I registered to go, but I can't go after all. What should I do? We hope that you have marked your calendar for this long-awaited night, but we understand that something may prevent you from attending. If that happens, please let us know immediately, as we have a waiting list of other prommers who would like to attend. You can send an email to [email protected], or call Ninth Street Christian Church at 573-392-4685.
• What should I wear? You may choose to wear anything you feel comfortable in. Some prom attendees wear T-shirts and jeans, some wear "Sunday best", semi-formal, or formal prom attire. Others choose to join in on the fun of the theme of the dance and wear fun costumes.
• What should I bring? Just bring yourself! You will not need money.
• Where is Jesus Prom located? Ninth Street Christian Church is our host for the event. 1009 McKinley Dr. Eldon, Mo 65026.
• Where will we park? Guardians will be directed to park in the paved and large gravel lots. Parking is limited, but we will have volunteers there to ensure you make it to the appropriate place.
• What time should I arrive? The dance goes from 5:00pm to 8:00pm.
• As their guardian, should I stay with them? That is up to you. You can choose to escort your prommer through out the evening, or we will assign a buddy to them. Guardians who are not acting as an escort will be required to remain in the balcony of the gymnasium where they can sit and view the dance. You may choose to leave and return at 8:00pm for pick up. The assigned volunteer will escort your prommer back to your vehicle. If you choose to enter the building for any length of time, you will need to register and wear a wrist band. These procedures are due to fire safety codes.
• What if I don't feel like dancing? This night is all about you having a great time, whatever that may look like. There are plenty of different activities to fill your time with. Or if you just need a quiet spot to sit, we have that available too. Just let your buddy know what you want to do!
• Who can attend Jesus Prom? Anyone with disabilities age 13 to 100 in the Mid-Missouri area.
