ENCOUNTER /// God. Life. Community.
ENCOUNTER GOD. IN EVERYDAY LIFE. TOGETHER IN COMMUNITY.
Encounter is a community for 18–24-year-olds who want to follow Jesus on the journey of real life. We believe the Gospel changes everything, and Jesus is worth giving everything for.
College and young adults have big questions: Who am I? Where do I fit in? What’s my purpose? What’s next? We believe those questions, and the ones you haven’t even asked yet, all find their true answer in Jesus through His life, death, and resurrection.
At Encounter, you will find friends to walk with, space to grow, and opportunities to encounter God in everyday life together in community.
Dates: Oct. 3-5 Cost: $120 (Early Bird Due Sept. 18th)

How to Read the Bible
Encounter wants every young adult to learn how to spend time in the Word with the Word.
We believe, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” - 1 Timothy 3:16-17
