Night to Shine 2026 Hosted at North Shore Community Baptist Church

North Shore Community Baptist Church served as a host of the 2026 Night to Shine, sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation. The unforgettable worldwide celebration event, centered on God’s love, honoring and valuing people with special needs was held by host churches around the world simultaneously on Friday, February 13, 2026. NSCBC joined hundreds of other churches around the globe in celebrating people with disabilities as God’s image bearers.

This year Night to Shine at NSCBC hosted 80 guests and their parents and caregivers. The efforts of many individuals came together to make this a spectacular evening. About 314 volunteers from area churches, Gordon College, Gordon-Conwell Seminary, Endicott College, and the community worked together to make the evening memorable.

Night to Shine is hosted every year by churches on the Friday before Valentine’s Day. Each event is unique to its location, but some cornerstone activities included across all of them are a red carpet entrance complete with a warm welcome from a friendly crowd
and paparazzi, hair and makeup stations, shoeshines, limousine rides, karaoke, gifts, a catered dinner, a Sensory Room, a Respite Room for parents and caregivers, dancing, and a crowning ceremony where every guest is honored as a King or Queen – the way God sees them each and every day.

“Night to Shine is my favorite night of the year! It’s my favorite because we get to celebrate so many Kings and Queens and share how much they are loved by us and by the God of this universe. Our goal is to be able to get to every person with special needs around the world – until all are celebrated. No matter what city, no matter what country, no matter where you are, we want Night to Shine to be there.” said Tim Tebow, founder of the Tim Tebow Foundation.

As sponsor of Night to Shine, the Tim Tebow Foundation provides each host church with the official 2026 Night to Shine Planning Manual, personalized guidance and support from a Tim Tebow Foundation staff member, the opportunity to apply for a financial grant, and access to planning resources that will assist them in creating an unforgettable experience for their honored guests. The foundation also provides access to ongoing disability ministry resources through Shine On.
