Experience the First 4 Quarters of the Encounter School of Ministry

Drawing from the richness of our Catholic heritage and identity, we seek to teach, equip, activate and deploy disciples to be able to demonstrate the supernatural power and love of the kingdom of God in their spheres of influence.

The Summer Intensive is a “Come Taste and See” event that provides a survey of the content offered in the first four quarters of the Encounter School of Ministry over a 2-day period. The first four quarters include: Identity & Transformation, the Prophetic Gifts of the Holy Spirit, Power and Physical Healing, Inner Healing and Freedom. The Summer Intensive is a powerful experience that helps bridge the gap between the supernatural lifestyle of Jesus and the everyday experience of many believers.

Focusing on topics from the first four quarters of Encounter School of Ministry, participants get a taste of the joy, transformation, and renewal that is at the heart of Encounter’s mission. The Summer Intensive is perfect for anyone desiring to attend the Encounter School during the year but unable to do so because of distance or schedule. It is also ideal for those discerning their enrollment in the school of ministry but needing greater discernment.
