Welcome to the Wichita Campus!
CLASS SCHEDULE:
Mondays 6-9pm beginning in September 2023
Most people don’t experience supernatural moments in their everyday lives. There is a big disconnect between their own experiences and those in stories of scripture or the lives of saints. If deep down you know Jesus Christ did not die for a powerless church, then you may be looking for the more that is promised by God. The Encounter School of Ministry can radically renew your mind and transform your life.

Made for More
The Encounter School of Ministry of Wichita is for anyone who wants to receive more of the Holy Spirit for themselves and the sake of others. Jesus gave His Church a task to be His witnesses “to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8). Whenever Jesus gives us a task, He makes grace available to us for completing it – that is why He first promised they would “receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.” (Acts 1:8) Would like to experience the power of the Holy Spirit? Would you like to share it with the people around you? Join us as we teach, equip, and activate missionary disciples who can confidently demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in the middle of a hurting world hungry for God. You were made for this…made for more!
