Encounter

A powerful experience that completely changes the course of our lives.  All of us have already experienced many important milestones or encounters: falling in love, getting married, finishing a degree, obtaining a job, parenting, etc.  But of all the encounters we can have, the most important one is an encounter with the living God.

An Encounter weekend presents a series of experiences and personal teaching that result in visible, manifested change in the lives of all who participate.  It offers an environment where participants can establish their relationship with God and have direct fellowship with Him.  Individuals will be given opportunities to:

• forgive
• be forgiven
• be delivered from bondage
• be healed from emotional and physical trauma
• receive restoration of worth and value
• walk in covenant relationship with God and His family
