It our vision at Encounter Youth for all students to find a place of belonging in a life-changing community and take intentional steps to be transformed into the image of Jesus. One opportunity we are excited to offer in the 2021 Spring Semester are Thursday night Encounter Growth Groups. These topical groups are intentionally designed with middle school and high school students in mind. We will be addressing and discussing topics that are relevant to teenagers in this season of life.

We are launching this semester by offering two groups: The Heart of Man and Cultivating Healthy Relationships. These groups will meet from 7:00pm-8:30pm on Thursday nights at Ephrata Community Church starting January 21st. Please register on the ECC student ministry events page by January 20th. The descriptions for these groups are listed below. Please reach out to Chris or Oliver with any further questions about the nature and focus of these groups. 

We look forward to all that God will accomplish in the hearts and minds of students through these nights!”
