Group Registration

Everything’s better with friends! Whether you are a church leader or leading a small group, you can use your influence to gather the girls in your world and bring them with you to the DFL conference.

We would LOVE to host your group. To be eligible for the DFL 2016 group discount, you will need to register at least 10 individual girls. After you register your group, you will be emailed a confirmation of your group registration.  If you would like to continue expanding your group, we want to help!  Please contact the Group Coordinator in the DFL Office at (417) 581-8083 so that you can continue to gather girls and add them to your group registration.
