Encounter (Christian event)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Encounter is a Christian conference event that takes place each year in Preston, Lancashire in the United Kingdom.

It was started in the late 1990s by a group of Lancashire based Christians from various evangelical churches with the aim of bringing Christians together for teaching, worship and fellowship.The event regularly attracts around 2,000 people and is hosted at Prestons Guild Hall. The ethos of Encounter is strongly evangelical, charismatic and contemporary. The event embraces the creative arts and multi-media technology.

Each year a speaker from outside of the area is invited to come. For 2007 the guest speaker was the American emerging church leader Erwin McManus.
