On December 26th – December 29th all youth, in grades 6th – 12th, are invited to attend the Encounter Winter Retreat! We believe that Encounter is the foundation to our youth’s journey to becoming. This year’s theme will be Fire and Wind! It is our prayer that God would set a fire deep within the hearts of our youth, breathe fresh life into their souls, and give them boldness to take a stand for Christ. We are believing for encounters with God that will change lives!
Encounter is here!
