Host Encounter At Your School!
A step by step process to bring Encounter to your school
This is a short video for you, and whoever is approving Encounter, to watch so you can get an idea of what it looks like to host the Encounter Tour at your church.
Step 1: Watch This Video
Step 2: Review Our Hosting Expectations
Below is a list of expectations that we have if you were to agree to host our team. If the prospect of hosting us seems too large for your community to handle, that’s ok! We would love to talk with you and discuss other options on how we can partner with your school.

General Expectations
Meals
Depending on the timing of the show we ask that the school would provide either a breakfast or a lunch before or after the show time. We also ask that the meals would be nutritional - you can imagine how much fast food we eat on the road! A home-cooked meal goes a long way for our team!
**Note: Please look at the team breakdown below for allergies when planning meals.
Hour and a half performance and ministry time.
Our show takes an hour and a half from start to finish. This includes a short introduction, the Encounter production, ministry time, and worship at the end. Depending on time constraints we may be able to shorten the performance if needed.
A love offering
We offer Encounter as a free performance. Countless hours and dollars have been spent refining this performance - all in faith that God will provide a way for it to reach the nations! We ask that you would be willing to give a love offering to our team at the end of the night so that we can keep doing what we are doing!

Facility Space
Performance space specs
Our ideal stage dimensions are 40 feet wide, 20 feet high and 25 feet deep, however, our set is modular and can be altered to fit most spaces. If your facility cannot meet these requirements, please connect with us and we can find a solution together.
Power
For all of our audio, video, and lighting we require 10 dedicated
15 amp circuits.
Storage for gear
We ask that you would have ready a space for us to store our empty cases and equipment. We travel with enough gear to fill a 20 foot box truck. We understand some hosts may not be able to do this - and in this case we will store our equipment in our truck.
Room for our personal belongings
We ask that you provide a room for our team’s personal belongings.
Clear the stage
We will be traveling fully equipped to set up and perform our entire show. This includes an entire sound and lighting system. We ask that you would kindly clear your stage or the area that we will be performing in so we can set up in a timely manner.

Helpful meals to accommodate a large group and accommodate allergies:
