What
is Teens Encounter Christ?
·
A retreat ministry for high school age
youth and older based on Lutheran theology.

A chance to strengthen your faith in
Christ and learn more about what it means to daily live out your baptism
·
Retreats are planned and led by youth,
pastors and lay adults, all of whom have participated in a previous TEC
weekend.
·
TEC lets young adults experience the
fun and shared spirituality found in a Christian community.
What

You hear youth, pastors, and adults
share ways to live faithfully and keep a close relationship with Christ.

You participate in daily worship and
communion.

You enjoy the entire group at meals,
during recreation, and in fun
activities.
·
You learn how to share your faith with
others more effectively.
·
You sing lots of great songs! (If you have been to a synod youth event or ever
heard "Lost and Found", we're sure you will know at least some of
them.)
·
You get to know other Christian youth,
mostly Lutheran, from
How
long is a Teens Encounter Christ weekend retreat?
Three days, with each day having its
own theme grounded in Lutheran theology:
·
Die Day
- As Christ died for us, so we need to die to ourselves through confession and
forgiveness.
·
Rise Day
- As Christ rose from death, so we are given new life in Christ through our
baptism.
·
Go Day
– As the disciples were sent out by Christ, so we are sent out with the Holy
Spirit to share Christ’s love.
Who
attends a Teens Encounter Christ weekend retreat?
·
Youth and adults who have been baptized
and confirmed. Youth must have completed one semester of 9th grade
and be at least 15 years old.
·
Attendance is limited to 25 youth
guests and 10 adult guests. (The first time that youth from a congregation
attend a TEC retreat, we strongly recommend that at least one adult from that
church also attend.)
·
Pastors are always welcome to attend
as guests. Pastors are an integral part of the TEC experience and no weekend
can happen without their spiritual guidance.
