TEENS ENCOUNTER CHRIST (TEC) is a three-day weekend experience
for young adults age 15 and up and/or a rising sophomore. The
weekend is led by lay persons, both adults and young adults,
and Lutheran clergy.
It's broad objective is to enable youth, at a time when they are
making life decisions, to encounter the presence of Christ in the
lives and commit themselves to a life under Him.
The TEC weekend consists of a Christian community of adults and youth.
Each person attending this weekend is drawn into the community through
prayer, sharing, and formal and informal worship (including Holy
Communion and Affirmation of Baptism).
Each individual is guided, at their own level and pace, in a non-threatening
environment in which they are respected as a complete and individual
person.
Each of the three days on the TEC weekend will have their own focus.
The first day is Die Day, which focuses on Christ dying for our sins.
The second day, Rise Day, focuses on Christ rising from the dead and,
thus, giving us new life. The last day, Go Day, enables us to make
use of what we've learned when we go back into the community.
TEC
is open to all persons of all Christian denominations.
TEC Objectives
That the participants may:
- Encounter the person of Christ.
- Joyfully experience an accepting community of Christians who are
committed to Christ.
- Commit themselves to life under Christ.
- Experience in the church's worship life a meaningful and joyful
expression of their own worship life.
- Renew their commitment to Christian service in their home church.
