T.E.C. is "Teens Encounter Christ," a non-denominational, Christ centered, relationally styled experience in a 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.

T.E.C. is an expression of the desire of participating congregations to offer a culturally relevant, encouraging exposure to the journey of faith. Teenagers have the freedom to consider their commitment to Christ and His church in a loving way. Based on scripture, empowered by prayer, the T.E.C. community brings evangelism, revitalization, and discipleship into the lives of youth, spreading to their congregations, communities, and families.
