It is for FREEDOM that CHRIST has set us FREE. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Galatians 5:1

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 mind and an open heart and see what will happen when you have an Encounter with GOD!
