Where are Grace   Immersion Weekends held?

Any believer who desires to learn about and/or experience God's Full Grace in their life.



What will happen on the Weekend?

Immersion weekends begin on Friday evening with an "Introduction to God's Full Grace" Service.

     - This is an open service to introduce the full dimensions of God's grace (Ephesians 3:17-19) and to stir

       up a desire to seek God's full grace in one's life.


Saturday events are for those who have committed to fully participate throughout the day and weekend.

     - Full participants need to sign up either before the weekend or at the Friday night service.

     - Saturday will involve a variety of experiences ranging from training workshops, small group dialogue

        sessions, times of personal prayer and meditation, times of worship, as well as experiencing a Wesley       

        Covenant Service and an opportunity for prayer seeking the Holy Spirit's work to be done in participants'

        lives. 


Sunday brings the weekend to a conclusion with Sunday morning Church-wide worship and a congregational meal and testimony time.

The Requested Ministry Fee is $750 from the hosting church.

In addition, each participant is asked to cover $50.


This is a requested fee not a required fee for participation
