Is this camp for me?
God wants to meet with you. The question is: do you want to meet with God? Are you hungry to know Him more?
Are you looking for Him to touch your life and change you? If your answers are “yes” then BATTLE is for you.
Before BATTLE you will need to:
- Be aged 18 to 30s (including current school year 13)
- Be an active member of a cell group
- Have been on an Encounter Weekend
What is a cell and how do I join?
As well as meeting together on a Sunday morning, King’s Church also meets in ‘cell’ groups of 3 to 12 people throughout the week. Cells are the life and heart of the church. Each cell meets weekly for one hour and is led by someone who’s been trained on our School of Leaders.
If you would like to join a cell group, please contact us at the church office on 01753 786300 and we will do our best to find you a cell where you’ll feel most at home. www.kcionline.org/get-connected
What is an encounter weekend?
An Encounter weekend provides an opportunity for you to have a close encounter with Jesus Christ - the most important and life changing experience that you can ever have. The weekend is about coming to know the Father heart of God, putting things right with Him, receiving inner healing from past hurts, experiencing the Holy Spirit and understanding God’s plans for your future.
Please let us know on step 2 of the ‘booking form’ if you have not attended an Encounter and we will send you information about the forthcoming Encounter Weekends.
