What is Men's Encounter?
Men’s Encounter is a time for us men to get away and encounter God, perhaps like never before; a time to consider, give thought to our lives, and discover solutions to the unique challenges facing men.

Words cannot express how much this impacted me. My life has been changed. EVERY MAN needs to hear this message. I will be back!    Justin Mills, Ottawa

Incredible... amazing... a life changer.   If you want to improve yourself, your marriage, and your relationship with your children, attend!    Eric Wagner, Lawrence

Prior to going to the Encounter, I knew that God loved me and I knew what he had done for me; but after the Encounter, I realized what true Freedom in Christ really is.   Jason Jones, Alta Vista

When I attended my first Men's Encounter, I made the decision to come with an open mind. It solidified so much for me, and I can honestly say it was one of the most important weekends of my life.   Josh McCleary, Lawrence

What is Women's Encounter?

Women’s Encounter can be described as a weekend where women encounter Christ in ways that are perhaps new or long-since felt.  Through teaching, testimonies, and worship we’ll dive deep into what it means to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ.

You’ll learn more about yourself, the body of believers around you, and most importantly, the God who created you.  Get to know the sisters you have in the Lord and the community that awaits you.  Whether your relationship is new or old, this weekend will be a blessing

What others are saying. . .

Before I attended Encounter, I thought that carrying around the weight of my past was just part of life as a Christian. I returned with a heart that felt 50 pounds lighter! I had been to conferences and retreats before and always came away "convicted" and with more stuff to add to my guilt-induced to-do list. I came away from Encounter transformed and free. This ministry has changed the way I see God, others, and myself. You deserve to have this amazing experience! - Laura Armbrust

This was the best experience I have ever had. I knew my Lord and Savior, but this weekend took it to a much deeper level of relationship with my Heavenly Father. It is truly God working in my life, my marriage, motherhood, and every other aspect of my future. I was able to let go of my past....which allowed me to experience "True Freedom"! I am very excited for the upcoming encounter! - Marcella Barker

I have been a Christian for 10 years almost but leaving behind my past, I had set up all of these self-made rules. At Encounter I realized I had become so imprisoned by these standards that were not from God, that set me up for failure, that made me judge and condemn others. I had been set free but had built my own yoke of slavery.  No more! I have learned that when it comes to doing the Christian disciplines of prayer, meeting with believers, teaching your children, reading the Word, etc, that motivation matters. He doesn't want our good works or sacrifices, He wants our heart. - Randi Schmid
