About Men's Encounter

Men’s Encounter is a 48 hour weekend, where men (18 years & older) from all walks of life, can experience the power and freedom, paid for by Jesus on the cross. There are 14 different sessions. Each session has a time of praise and worship, true life testimonies, teaching from God’s Word and a time of personal reflection. All teachings and testimonies are spoken by ordinary men who tell of their Encounter with our extraordinary God!

Men’s Encounter weekend is life changing and is for every man. Whether you attend church or not, if you are a pastor or in ministry, or maybe you don’t even know if you believe God is real….You owe it to yourself to take 48 hours and allow Jesus to become alive and real to you. Come with an open heart and an open mind and see what will happen when you have an Encounter with GOD!

Encounter Weekend

Most likely you were directed here by a friend, and you may be wondering “what in the world is this guy so excited about?” Well, take any ideas you may have about this impactful event and throw them out the window. You can be as social or hermit-like as you wish – you will not be forced out of your comfort zone. Don’t worry, this is not another church retreat; there will not be: a bunch of dudes holding hands singing kumbaya, sleep-deprived group-therapy, or any other such nonsense.
 
Life is a series of choices, and at a minimum, this is an opportunity to receive something that equips you to face life’s challenges in an environment customized for you. The Men’s Encounter is organized by men and for men. There is no central organization, but rather a growing network of men from all walks of life and many different regions that have experienced freedom and are now working to share it with others. The principles and tools shared are foundational in nature, but yet can have a profound influence on those who come with a humble and open heart. While there will be other men in attendance, Encounter is an individual and personal experience. What takes place during the weekend is between you and God. He has a gift uniquely for you. Hope to see you there!
