Update from our January Encounter Weekend

Open Arms Community Church and Church Development Network hosted our January Encounter Weekend January 17 & 18.

What is Encounter?

Encounter is an in-person worship, prayer, and training experience that equips participants with strategies for multiplication. This transformative weekend is the beginning of a mentorship journey designed to guide individuals in planting churches and making disciples.

Highlights from the Weekend

  • 14 Attendees
  • 6 Trainers
  • 2 Churches Conceived
  • 4 Church Planters Inspired to Multiply

To God be the glory!

The term “church conceived” signifies a powerful moment when an individual responds to God’s call to plant a church. This Encounter Weekend was a catalyst for such life-changing decisions.

Additionally, many who are currently leading microchurches were refreshed in their calling. Even those not yet ready to plant a microchurch experienced a renewed sense of purpose, hearing from the Lord and feeling the call to move forward in disciple-making.

Join Us for the Next Encounter Weekend

We invite you to get plugged into our upcoming Encounter Weekend in July right here in Bradford. Whether you’re exploring your faith, leading a microchurch, or feeling called to plant a new church, this experience offers the training and support you need to grow.

Stay tuned for more details, and we hope to see you there!
