Encounter First Steps
Accelerating the journey of Discipleship with Christ-centered healing, deeper intimacy with the Father, and empowerment by the Spirit.
Encounter First Steps
Whether you want to transform your church’s attendees into healthy disciples with missional mindsets, or you want to reach your unchurched neighbors more effectively as an everyday missionary, Encounter First Steps is the place to begin. We partner with established churches to host these events for their members but also welcome individuals and small groups to participate as part of our Underground network.
So you want to see heaven and earth come together right where you are?
Then it’s time to balance the four critical relationships: UP (God), IN (ourselves), OUT (others), WITH (one another).
FIRST, ACCELERATE YOUR UPWARD & INWARD DISCIPLESHIP
It is so important that your interior life and rhythms of life align with God’s vision for the restoration of the whole person. If you haven’t attended an EncounterGod Weekend or joined an EncounterLife Group we think it’s essential.
EncounterGod Weekends
Healing. Freedom. Identity.
These catalytic weekends immersed in the power of the Gospel establish a paradigm for a Iife filled with radical, safe, authentic vulnerability, and transformation.
EncounterLife Groups
Care. Growth. Accountability
These twelve-week post-encounter cohorts of 4-8 are designed to reinforce your renewed identity as a disciple through care and challenge, providing accountability to help you meet personal goals in Jesus.
Have you already participated? If so, then let’s move on to the second step…
SECOND, ACCELERATE YOUR WITHWARD & OUTWARD DISCIPLESHIP
As you’ve gone deeper in your own healing we want to train you to do the works of Jesus by demonstrating the nearness of the Kingdom through prayer ministry for inner or emotional and physical healing, deliverance ministry and prophetic ministry.
EncounterEquip: Prayer Ministry Training Course
Equipping. Empowering. Releasing
This is an in-person, intensive course where ordinary people explore together what it means to live as citizens of the Kingdom of God and how to minister to others lovingly and powerfully through prayer.
NEXT, LEARN TO LIVE AS A MISSIONARY TO YOUR CONTEXT
Now that you have embraced your own journey of healing and started practicing how to bring that same healing and wholeness to others, it’s time for you to look further out and start living as a missionary who makes disciples that build spiritual families.
We call this next step the Missionary Pathway, a nine-month journey of group coaching where ordinary people practice new mindsets and celebrate the Kingdom’s in-breaking around them.
