ENCOUNTER WEEKEND 2022
What is Encounter Weekend?
Encounter Weekend is a weekend for students grades 6-12 to get away from the distractions of their daily life, come together and worship Christ for an entire weekend.
What is Encounter Redemption?
This is our theme for this year, redemption. Throughout the Bible we will be looking at stories of people who's lives are changed for eternity because of Christ. We will look at these stories of redemption and what it means for your life. Our theme is based on Colossians 1:13-14 "He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." (ESV)
Who can come?
Students in grades 6-12 are all welcome and encouraged to attend.
Why should I and my friends come?
Whether you are already a follower of Christ, or if you are still searching for truth, this weekend is designed to be a fun, engaging, and distraction-free time where you can grow deeper in your relationship with Christ, or explore what it means to follow Christ. We will have awesome worship, great fellowship and games, and even have a chance to serve others during this weekend.
When is it?
March 11-13, 2022.
How much is it?
$35 - This includes all Saturday meals and Sunday morning breakfast, a t-shirt, and paintball on Saturday.
We never want a student to miss out on this event because of the price, please contact Pastor Todd to see if there is a scholarship available for you (all scholarships are first come first serve and need based).
Who is speaking?
Spencer Thorpe is an elder at Community Bible Church in Central Point and has served as a Youth Pastor for 11 years. Spencer is married to his wife Meckenzie and they have two children together. In his free time he enjoys traveling with his family using only travel points, and someday wishes he can become a real foodie.
Who is leading worship?
This year we are doing things a little different and we are going to be led by our very own FBC Music Ministry team which will include our own student worship team!
