The Encounter Conference is a gathering of multi-generational leaders for two days of worship, inspiration and connection. You will be inspired from anointed communicators, refreshed by the presence of God and will have the opportunity to connect with leaders from all over.
The Encounter Conference is a LEADERSHIP EVENT. If you are a leader, then it’s for you no matter what your age or position. The Encounter Conference is attended by local church leadership, district leadership, laity, collegiates and teenagers. The Encounter is truly a multi-generational gathering.
Our focus is on developing “NEXT-GEN leaders”. We define a “NEXT-GEN leader” not as an age group or style, but rather a mentality & commitment to mentor & disciple the next generation. While each Encounter Conference has a specific theme, the focus still remains on learning to become leaders who are committed to reach & mentor those who will follow in our footsteps.
There is no registration fee for The Encounter Conference. We try to make it as easy as possible for our District & Churches to bring as many of their leaders to the event as possible. We do take up an offering at the Encounter and allow for leaders & churches to sow into the event.
