Encounter

Encounter is for youth in 6th-8th grade. The definition of "encounter" is: to meet or come upon especially unexpectedly. We want all of our Jr. High Youth to have that experience with each other and with Jesus. we want them to encounter friendship, support, the joy of living a Christian life, the excitement of serving others; but most importantly we want them to have an Encounter with the living God, Jesus Christ, who saves us from our sins and brings us into a relationship with Himself. How do we do this? -Through Bible study, service projects, retreats and fun events. Encountering the real Jesus is the most exciting thing that can happen to our lives and our encounters with Him never end because as we grow in our faith we encounter more and more of God's awesome love and plan of salvation for us. We pray that each youth in our Jr. High ministry Encounter Him!
