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.

(Currently we are just asking for a donation from the hosting church and no participant fee - just chances for donations during the weekend.)
The Requested Ministry Fee is $750 from the hosting church.
In addition, each participant is asked to cover $50.
