East Side Baptist Church will be hosting its second Night to Shine on February 9 from 6 until 9 at The Vada Sheid Community Center on the campus of Arkansas State University Mountain Home. Part of a global experience, the evening is designed to bring people with special needs the opportunity to have a prom night experience. The church is partnering with the Tim Tebow Foundation which started the first Night to Shine in 2014 and saw 700 churches participate in 2023.

Senior Pastor Scott Speer and Administrative Assistant Teshena Lowe say this event is a way to honor these special people who may not have had a chance to experience prom before.
