That’s why we’re excited to gather together to worship, learn, and grow in our faith at Encounter Conference 2026.
What To Expect
We’re spending three days full of worship, activities, food, and fun as we hang out with students from churches all over the region.

Whether you’re singing along or soaking it in, each session is designed to help you encounter His presence, connect with others, and leave refreshed and encouraged. Come ready to lift your voice, open your heart, and be part of a transformative worship experience.
Speakers
