Why Should I Come To TEC?

As a youth you will get to experience God's Love you will have fun doing it! TEC is a unique experience for everyone. If your friends that have been to a TEC weekend ever tried to describe their experience you may think they have lost their mind. It is a hard thing to describe, because it is how you personally experience God's Love on one of these weekends that makes it an amazing experience. How can you describe that on one of these weekends you will experience God's love? Or that He has become the center of your life? I encourage you to come to a TEC weekend. To e-mail one of our Youth Representatives on council and ask them what their experience was like. Ask around at your church, ask your youth director, your youth group friends, or your pastor about TEC.  Here are a few tidbits of what you will experience on a TEC weekend.

* Let God change your life with a spiritual experience.
* Learn about your faith in an amazing way.
* Meet new people and make new friends.
* Take a chance to feel closer to God.
* Celebrate and worship with a Music Team that Rocks.
* Meet some crazy people that you will love to get to know.
