EncounterLife Weekends

What is an EncounterLife Weekend?

An EncounterLife Weekend is a gender baseed short course in freedom- freedom from habits, bondages, bitterness, wrong thoughts, and past mistakes. We believe that the first step in becoming a healthy disciple is to be totally freed from our past. Jesus said, “It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.” (Galatians 5:1)

At the EncounterLife, through the power of the cross, the Lord will set you free.

Who will be there?

EncounterLife weekends are designed specifically for men, women, teens or children. This includes either the believer or the unbeliever.


Each EncounterLife weekend is led by leaders of the Crossing.

What is the schedule for the EncounterLife Weekend?

EncounterLife Weekends begin on Friday evening, continuing through the day on Saturday, and ending on Sunday after our Celebration Service at the Crossing.
