What is Encounter?

At Encounter Sabbath, you will enjoy gourmet camp food, fun fellowship, and a weekend consecrated to pursuing the Lord on the shores of Pilot Knoll Park on Lake Lewisville. Let the Lord direct your spirit through godly discussion, prayer, meditation, worship, hikes, and more. Spend Friday night camping in the park, or go home to your own bed and come back Saturday morning! Your agenda for the weekend - be with God! Invite him to speak to you, guide you, and renew you.

What’ll It Cost?

  • $25 Non-camping - includes 4 meals

  • $35 Camping - includes 4 meals plus overnight camping fee

  • "...the perfect balance of individual, small group, and whole group activities and discussion. It was so well planned and thought-out, but also left room for Holy Spirit to change up our plans and surprise us in the best ways. Eric and Sarah are the most gracious leaders and hosts. I highly recommend this retreat. You will experience His presence." - Julie

  • "Encounter provided a way to be found, a way to escape from the busy noise of the world. Through Encounter, I was able to receive the deepest touch of the Holy Spirit like I never have before." - Jaime

  • "I like the program we follow, not tight at all but very effective when we are asked to break down some passages. It pushes us to meditate on His Word and is a great opportunity to learn to hear from God." - Jehu

  • “I had several spiritual and personal break-throughs at my retreat with Solace last weekend, and it couldn’t have come at a better time... The beauty of Solace is that it is structured just enough to provide spiritual focus, but provides enough flexibility and choice to allow you to respond to the Holy Spirit. If you’re on the fence, show up. You won’t regret it.” - Brian
