Welcome to West Central MN TEC Online!

TEC is meant to be a Christ-centered relationally styled experience in Christian community for teenagers. Through the formation of leadership teams, retreat weekends, and various forms of follow-up, youth are given the opportunity to grow in personal faith and to express a corporate faith in witness and service to others.

TEC is an expression of the desire of participating congregations to offer cultrually relevant and encouraging exposure to the journey of faith. Teenagers have the freedom to consider their commitment to Christ an His church in a loving, attractive way.

Based on Scripture, empowered by The Holy Spirit, and surrounded by prayer, the TEC community can bring evangelisim, revitalizaion, and discipleship into the lives of youth, spreading to their congregations, communities, and families.

TEC is offered as an expression of God's grace and love extended to all; regardless of race, gender, economic status, or educational achievement.

Applications

There are no longer seperate applications for each individual TEC weekend. Applications, however, can be found under the Weekends section in the navigation menu.

Please Note...

Teens Encounter Christ is in no way, shape, or form a cult, secret society, or club. It is a weekend for 10-12 graders who want Christ to meet them right where they're at.

Candidates often hear things like, "It's a T.E.C. thing, I can't tell you," from friends who've been through the weekend already. The surprises (not secrets) throughout the weekend are there to make the weekend even more special for the candidates. If the candidates knew about these surprises ahead of time, much of the impact of the T.E.C. weekend would be lost.
