At City Church, we define Freedom as the ability to respond to God out of who He created and redeemed you to be.

The Bible tells us that Christ died for us so that we can live a life of freedom. Our Encounter Weekend was created to help you overcome in all areas of your life as you learn how to hear the voice of God so that you may connect to His presence and learn to authentically walk by the spirit.

The March Encounter Weekend will be a 2-day retreat in Kiln Mississippi at the Bethel Encounter Retreat Center. Meals, lodging and materials are included in event cost.

Attendees can expect to hear profound teaching, receive ministry from trained ministers and most importantly encounter the presence of the Holy Spirit in a powerful way. Ministry Topics may cover: The cross of Jesus, emotional healing, Healing of Father Wounds, Sexual Purity, the importance of Forgiveness and deliverance. 

Join us on the next Encounter Weekend!
