Weekender Application

Teens Encounter Christ (TEC) is a three day weekend centered on God's grace. It provides teenagers the opportunity to examine ways of living out their faith in relationship to others, it is a time for renewal and strengthening of that faith, and it challenges and equips one to center their life in Christ. TEC aims not to introduce a new kind of religion, but to expand on and reinforce what is taught in Sunday School, Confirmation, and from the pulpit.

The entire weekend is a peer ministry; teens ministering to teens. Adult advisors and pastors also take an active-part in leading this weekend of living, studying, worshiping, and communing together. The weekend centers on nine talks: seven given by youth who have attended a previous weekend and two by clergy. Following each talk, small table groups discuss the talk and prepare a presentation on what they heard. In addition to these talks and various worship opportunities, the weekend includes music and singing, food, and fellowship, a time for laughter and a time for prayer.

TEC is open to youth who are in 9th grade through the first years after graduation. An enrollment fee of $40.00 is asked of each weekender, but partial or full scholarships are available in case of hardship. A limited number of youth are accepted for each weekend.
