Encountering Jesus

It is not uncommon to feel like God is leading us into a situation or season where we feel overwhelmed and ill-equipped.  When life's storms are raging we wonder, like Jesus' first disciples, "Does He even care?" In this Encountering Jesus Group you will discover the wonderful care of a savior who lifts you up from life's waves.

it's normal to feel isolated when experiencing hardship and trial.  Jesus wants to hear the story behind your scars and reassure you that you are not alone.  This Encountering Jesus group leads one to consider themes of wounds and healing in the ministry of Jesus and one's own journey.

This Encountering Jesus group helps the participant walk with Jesus through Holy Week.  The events Jesus experiences between Palm Sunday and Good Friday are both public and private, joyful and grief stricken, comforting and agonizing.  In this program we witness Jesus' experiences of celebration, conflict, betrayal, trial, death and burial while discovering own similar experiences in the process.

Come and See is a shortened form of our flagship ANOIGO themed cohort.  This is a retreat cohort consisting of 4 sessions leading participants on a journey of identifying their desires, the lies which keep them from realizing their desires, the God who loves and delights in them.

Advent is a time to slow down and consider our own waiting for Jesus' second coming by entering into and reflecting upon the events surrounding Jesus' first coming.  By attending to the stories and songs of Israel's longing for salvation we awaken our own deeper desires and longings for salvation and deliverance. Advent is a subversive check to the relentless race to Christmas that our culture forces upon us.

What does the other side of resurrection really look like?  This six week Encountering Jesus group explores the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus with his disciples.  Taken from all four Gospels, these passages dive into the fears, doubts, wonder, and joy of encountering Jesus.
