There are some moments that change everything.

Not because you planned for them.
Not because the setting was perfect.
But because He walked into the room.

This is the kind of weekend we are preparing for.
Where worship becomes a doorway.
Where the ache in your soul finds healing.
A sacred moment in time for prayer, encounter and healing.
Where deliverance doesn’t feel like drama—but like mercy.
Where you remember what it feels like to be free.

Encounter Weekend isn’t a conference.
It’s a holy interruption. It is an invitation.

We’re creating space for you to hear God’s voice,
to be restored in your identity,
to throw off shame and wear joy again.
To be anointed, awakened, and alive in the presence of Jesus.

Join us—with your questions, or your weariness or your hunger.
Come with open hands and hearts.
Bring a friend who needs a miracle.

This is the weekend where everything could shift. We would love you to join us!
