Encounter events
An experience to introduce the next generation to the mission and step into the arena
Encounter is an open invitation, to students, families, leaders, and anyone ready to step into their arena for the first time. These are large, citywide gatherings designed for broad reach, bringing together the next generation from across every community for an experience that is anything but ordinary. Powerful leaders take the stage to share how they have personally restored their arenas, real stories of faith lived out in schools, businesses, and communities. A life-changing Gospel message is proclaimed, calling every person in the room into the story God is already writing. For many, it is the moment the journey begins, the first step from simply consuming faith to being formed by it, from occupying space to understanding they were made to transform it. Encounter is not the end of the story. It is the beginning of everything AOF is built to do, and everyone is welcome in the arena.
