The Ocean View Church of Christ is so proud to say that this is our 10 year anniversary for Night to Shine. Night to Shine is an unforgettable prom night experience, centered on God’s love, for people with special needs, ages 14 and older. The event will take place on Friday, February 13, 2026. 

 

You will walk the red carpet area at our main entrance to the brick building and be greeted by paparazzi.  Once inside, the registration team will get your name tag and send you to meet your buddy.  Then you and your buddy will be free to pick and choose from the different activites available at your discretion.  The activities available to choose from are limo rides, photo shoot, karaoke, hair/make up, shoe shine, game room, dessert bar, dinner, and of course dancing. The evening will end with a special crowning ceremony for each of our special guests to be crowned king/queen of the prom.

We ask that guests do not arrive before 5:30 as they will miss the red carpet experience, paparazzi, and your buddy may not be available until then. If you need to come before 5:30, we ask that you wait patiently in your vehicle. Thank you.

 

Parents and chaperones this year you are invited to go to the HOCKER’S FAMILY RESTAURANT at 30244 Cedar Neck Rd. Ocean View, DE for a buffet dinner. There will not be a meal at the church this year for parents/caretakers. You will receive a wrist band when you go to the registration table at church with your guest and then continue to the restaurant.  Only two wristbands per guest.  Look for more details on the registration form.  If you do register to attend and your plans change, please let us know ASAP.   If you decide not to attend the meal served at Hocker’s Family Restaurant you still need to get a different color wrist band to return to the building for the crowning ceremony.

​

The evening will end with a special crowning ceremony where each of our special guests will be crowned king/queen of the prom.  Parents/chaperones you may return to the church after your meal and be permitted to enter the building by showing your wristband.  We do ask that you PLEASE not wander around the building as we want to protect all of our guests safety and space is very limited. 

If your son/daughter requires medication during the evening you will need to return to the building to administer the medication.  Go to the gymnasium canopy and tell one of the security team members at the door the reason you are there.  We will have a separate room set up for these circumstances and one of our medical staff will go get your son/daughter to meet you.
