What Is Encounter Weekend?
Encounter Weekend is more than just a training. It’s an opportunity to encounter the Holy Spirit, hear from experienced disciple-makers and church planters, and walk away equipped with tools to start something new — whether that’s a small group, a microchurch, a ministry, or a whole new church expression.
If you’ve ever thought…
- “I feel called to lead, but I don’t know where to start…”
- “I want to make disciples, not just attend church…”
- “I think God is calling me to start something new…”
…then Encounter Weekend is for you.
The Vision: Multiplication
Jesus didn’t call us to gather people just to fill a building. He called us to go and make disciples — to reproduce faith, leaders, and spiritual communities that multiply and reach every corner of the world.
That’s the heart behind Encounter Weekend. You’ll be invited to consider:
What would it look like to multiply what God is doing in me… into others?
We’ll walk through a practical, Spirit-led framework for launching missional movements — whether that’s in your neighborhood, workplace, school, or city.
Microchurches & More
At Open Arms, part of how we live out this mission is through microchurches — small, simple communities of faith that meet outside the four walls of Sunday church. You’ll learn more about that model and how it might inspire your own next steps.
But this isn’t just about Open Arms.
Encounter Weekend is for anyone with a heart to see God’s Kingdom grow.
If you’re from another church, ministry, or background — you are welcome here. You’ll gain biblical insight, strategic tools, and a clear picture of what it means to be part of a multiplying movement.
