What youth leaders are saying about Encounter at MBC

"Encounter is an opportunity for our group to create life-changing memories, grow closer to one another and experience God in new and refreshing ways"

“I continue to bring our teens back to Monadnock year after year because of the quality
teaching, fun, and the awesome staff that have a heart for God and His children.”

“Each retreat is life-changing and is full of opportunities to mentor and build
relationships.”

“This is my 8th year coming to Monadnock Bible Conference as a student and then leader,
and every year I’m impressed by the quality of the weekend and the way it speaks
directly to the lives of students and challenges them to grow closer to God.”

Cost $128 per student

“Join Thousands of teens this winter for a weekend that your students will not soon forget! With new and exciting activities such as a redesigned tubing hill, snow shoeing, and optional workshops designed to take your students deeper in their relationship with Christ.  This will be a weekend that will help your students discover who they are in their relationship with Christ and how they can live out their faith in real and meaningful ways!
 

Our goal is to bring you a Christ-centered program that will help your students grow. We want to come alongside your ministry and be a catalyst for the work you’re doing day in and day out. Encounter is a great opportunity to propel your students forward in their relationships with Christ and each other. We hope you will join us this winter for a great weekend of ministry together.

Our gatherings are distinctive. Focused and engaging worship is blended with ridiculous group games and powerful, biblical speakers. Activities are highlighted by tubing, laser tag, our heated indoor pool, and a recently added lounge with snack shop called Hillside.
