Faith is a journey and anytime we go on a journey, we desire companionship.  Encounter groups will foster companionship in a small group setting with 5-10 fellow teens along with 2-3 adult mentors.  Guys will meet with guys and girls will meet with girls.  Encounter groups will allow teens to form authentic relationships while diving deeper into our faith.  Encounter groups will offer mentorship and support from adult leaders.
