Northwest Kansas Women’s Encounter
July 12-14, 2024

Women’s Encounter can be described as a weekend where women encounter Christ in ways that are perhaps new or long since felt.  Through teaching, testimonies, and worship we’ll dive deep into what it means to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. What is Women’s Encounter?

You’ll learn more about yourself, the body of believers around you, and most importantly, the God who created you. Get to know the sisters you have in the Lord and the community that awaits you.  Whether your relationship is new or old, this weekend will be a blessing. Most likely you were directed here by a friend, and you may be wondering what in the world is this person so excited about? Well, take any ideas that you may have about this impactful event and throw them out the window. You can be as social or hermit-like as you wish you will not be forced out of any comfort zone that you may have. Don’t worry, this is not another typical church retreat; it’s a weekend where you have an opportunity to get away with other women and experience God in a real, intimate, and personal way. The principles and tools shared are foundational in nature, but yet, can have a profound influence on those who come with a humble and open heart. While there will be other women in attendance, Encounter is an individual and personal experience. What takes place during the weekend is between you and God.  He has a gift that is unique for you.
