Family Weekend is the perfect time to plan a visit to Asbury! You can get all the benefits of a regular visit event, but also get a glimpse into some of Asbury’s best traditions like the annual Family Weekend sporting events, goat roast at the World Gospel Mission Student Center and more.
The weekend kicks off with the student body cheering on the women’s soccer team in their game against Carlow University, followed by the men’s game at 7 p.m. A drama production of “Silent Sky” will be held in the Greathouse Theatre at 7:30 p.m. before a Chamber Groups Concert at 9 p.m. closes out the evening.
Friday’s events include a Chapel service with Rev. AJ Swoboda, followed by open houses from the Alumni House and Admissions Office, a fun Family Bash on the Reasoner Green and an evening concert.
Saturday will bring trail rides for current students and family members at Asbury’s Equine Center, an Alumni Meet & Greet with President Kevin J. Brown and a morning concert featuring several Asbury music groups. Plus, guests can enjoy several sporting events throughout the day on Saturday at Asbury’s Luce Center.
Parents are also invited to a special Parents’ Breakfast with the President on Saturday, Oct. 5 at 9 a.m. Hear updates on the University and meet and greet with Brown at this event. Registration is required.
