High School: 9th through 12th Grade
NcntrFollow us on Instagram to keep up on what’s happening in Encounter!
Encounter is a place where high school students can find friends, ask real questions about real life and faith, and chase after God with their peers. We meet on Sundays at 11am in the Encounter Room for a high school worship service. It’s a casual setting full of everything from music to laughter to teaching that makes you think. We also have Life Groups that meet on Wednesday nights during the school year and are a great place to study the Bible, to bond, and to be known in our ministry. Lastly, we also love to play and have several weekend retreats, camps, and a variety of serving opportunities for you to get involved with throughout the year too. So, don’t miss out, come and join us as we make Encounter a vital part of an epic high school life experience.
Encounter HS Snow Trip
ENCOUNTER SNOW TRIP
THE SNOW TRIP IS BACK! We are so excited to be returning to Big Bear this February for an Encounter favorite: The HS Snow Trip. Every winter we love taking students to the mountains for a weekend of fun and spiritual growth. Retreats like the snow trip give students an opportunity to disconnect from their regular weekly routines and spend a weekend growing closer to God and each other while having a ton of fun in the mountains. Students also have the option to spend Saturday either skiing or snowboarding.
Your HS student is not going to want to miss this incredible weekend!
