Abstract

"Come to Jesus" is a comedy feature screenplay. With a tonal comp being "Superbad in sunday school", it follows a young evangelical boy named Toby, who attends his final Vacation Bible School camp at church before graduating high school. His lifelong dream of winning a bible college scholarship through his church is put in flux as his biggest rival, Shadrach, returns unexpectedly from his few years away in New York. Possessing all of the natural charisma and charm in the world, Toby sees the writing on the wall - he has no chance of winning this scholarship. That's when he decides to enlist the help of his heretical best friend Hayden, forced to be a Bible Camp while his parents are on vacation. Toby agrees to help Hayden learn how to be Christian in an effort to get him closer to Charity, the cutest girl in church, while Hayden agrees to help Toby sabotage Shadrach to solidify his place in the pulpit. As the week goes on, Toby's world starts to crumble as he begins to question whether or not God is even there to listen to his prayers.
