WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Come experience a two-day intensive to help you grow in your identity as a son or daughter of God! Drawing from the rich tradition of Catholic teaching and Sacred Scripture as well as honoring different Christian faith denominations, our dynamic teachers, transformative content, and uplifting culture will prepare you to walk with Jesus under an open heaven.
IDENTITY & TRANSFORMATION
This class is an overview of the first quarter of the school. All fruitful ministry flows not from greater performance or striving but from our identity as beloved sons and daughters of God. The transformation that we need to undergo comes from the “renewal of your mind” (cf Rom 12:2) and thinking from the mind of Christ.
intimacy & hearing god's voice
Our goal is to grow in our relationship with God and strive to become more aware of the way he speaks to us for our own sake. From that foundation, we are able to move in the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit which God enables us to hear His voice in different ways for the world around us.
living the supernatural life
Most people don’t experience supernatural moments in their everyday lives. There is a big disconnect between their own experiences and those in stories of scripture or the lives of saints. You may be looking for the more that is promised by God. It’s time to radically renew your mind and transform your life.
baptism of the holy spirit
Stir up the gifts you received at Baptism and Confirmation – and ask God for MORE gifts.

EXPECT MIRACLES
PROPHETIC WORSHIP
The Encounter School of Ministry values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. Classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.
RENEWAL OF THE MIND
Students learn about the nature of transformation by the renewal of the mind and seek to shift from thinking from an earthly perspective to a heavenly perspective in regard to ministry
MINISTRY TOOLS
We believe that as you embrace your identity and live out of the inheritance Jesus won for you, your mission, ministry, and God-given dreams will flourish in every season of life.
NEW CONNECTIONS
We believe community is essential. You’ll meet with other passionate disciples to encourage and build you up. You never know where the Spirit might lead with your new brothers and sisters in Christ.
PRAYER MINISTRY
You will have many opportunities to both receive and offer prayer ministry, practice with the gifts you have understood and activated, share God’s heart with your neighbors, and celebrate the miracles the Lord is working!
REFRESHMENT & RENEWAL
Burnout often accompanies life in mission. Be renewed, transformed, and set on fire for the Kingdom.
healing testimonies
Sharing testimony is to prophesy what God is going to do again. We hope you will receive inspiration and healing from what God has done in the life of others.
