Gather for Encounters with Jesus

Encounter Jesus together

After an hour or so of meeting people and starting spiritual conversations on campus, gather everyone together to experience community, encounter God, and gain vision for mission. Find a central and visible location and text anyone you met during your Exploring Faith Quiz conversations (plus anyone you already know and anyone who’s been involved so far).

What will you do at your Encounter Group?

Hosting an Encounter with Jesus is more than a Bible study. Every week at your Encounter Group you’ll do three things:

1. Build community through hospitality, food, and fun
2. Facilitate an encounter with Jesus through scripture study
3. Send people out into mission in their networks

The Bible studies and leaders guides below will walk you through the steps of leading these components each week.

Before your Encounter with Jesus, use a graphic to send invitations to everyone you've connected with on campus and post on social media as well.
