Our Mission

Christian Encounter exists to shepherd teens and young adults onto a path of healing and restoration by encountering the love of Jesus Christ through intentional Christian community.

Residential Program

We are a biblically-based community that engages with at-risk youth who are in need of out-of-home placement to heal and find hope again.

“Before my arrival at Christian Encounter, I had no foundation for life. I was a medicated, angry, bad-mouthed teenager… . It wasn’t until I came here that I started getting the help I needed to start the reconstruction of my life. Now I have a solid relationship with God and have gained more self-control. I have become open to receiving instruction. I am a new person."

Internship Program

Jesus invited a select few to come alongside Him - to be with Him - during His ministry on earth. They ate together, they walked together, they talked together. Our interns model this life-to-life discipleship of our students with a web of support backing them.
