Teaching sessions are uploaded weekly to your student dashboard. Online students watch these 2-hour sessions and do homework at their convenience before attending each scheduled Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday dynamic Zoom session. During these sessions, you’ll review, reflect, and activate your learning with a Encounter School Online facilitator in both large group and small group breakout formats.
Dynamic Breakout Rooms
Activating the gifts of the Holy Spirit
Activations take what you have learned and put it into action. With the Online Campus, you will have opportunities in small group breakout rooms to share your experiences, pray with others, and activate the supernatural gifts God bestows on you.
Praise & Worship
You also have an opportunity for Praise and Worship, livestreamed every Monday evening during the school year from our Main Campus in Brighton, Michigan.
Class Videos & Homework
Activating the gifts of the Holy Spirit
New class videos are available each week taking you through the curriculum with assigned homework practice exercises, extra reading, journal entries or other activities.
