What is Encounter? Encounter is a high-energy youth event designed to provide students in grades 6–12 with a focused opportunity to gather, grow, and connect throughout the school year. We call it “A Night of Camp” because we create the powerful, memorable experience of a summer camp night service—packed into one evening!

What to Expect: The night centers on Worship, the Word, and Fellowship. Students can expect a safe, welcoming atmosphere where they will experience:

• Free Meal: A complimentary dinner will be provided for all students before the service begins.
• Connection Time: Plenty of time to hang out, meet students from other youth groups, and connect with their friends.
• Powerful Service: High-quality, live worship followed by a direct, relevant message from the Bible.

The Focus: Life-Changing Moments While fellowship is important, the ultimate focus is providing a powerful moment for spiritual reflection. The service will conclude with an altar call offering students a clear opportunity to take a step in their faith journey: a call for Salvation (accepting Jesus) or Recommitment (refocusing their life on Jesus). We believe these moments are truly the most important part of the night.

Event Extras: We will be selling past event T-shirts for $5 each (or 3 for $10) before the service. All proceeds go directly back to covering event costs. Cash or card accepted.
