Pre-Encounter Preparation
Prior to attending an Encounter Weekend, believers are encouraged to attend four, one-hour classes which we call the Pre-Encounter. These classes currently meet between our two Sunday morning worship services from 9:45am – 10:45am.
The goal of the Pre-Encounter is to help the new believers prepare for the life-changing things the Lord wants to do in their lives at the Encounter Weekend.
We teach them about the new birth experience (John 3:3) to help them understand exactly what happened when they gave their life to Christ.We show them in the Bible God's requirements for salvation so that they enjoy the full assurance of their right standing before God. Next, we teach them about the cross and all the benefits which Christ's death secures for every believer. Finally, we build their faith to believe that there is literally nothing in their lives that is too big, or too hard for Jesus to deliver them from. By the end of the Pre-Encounter training, participants are “fired up” and ready to experience God in a fresh way at the Encounter Weekend.
Pre-Encounter classes are scheduled on the two Sundays prior to the Encounter Weekend. There is no charge for the Pre-Encounter classes.
