Pray for Encounter

Loading from Vimeo...

Encounter retreats are almost here! These events are a primary part of spiritual formation at Providence. Many students make life-changing decisions every year; some even accept Christ as their Savior for the first time.

Students that attend:

  • Preschool-3rd Grade - chapel (Sept. 20)
  • 4th Grade - Camp Westminister (Sept. 21)
  • 5th-8th Grade - Woodlands (Sept. 20-22)
  • 9th-11th Grade - SharpTop Cove (Sept. 20-22)
  • Seniors - SharpTop Cove (Sept. 17-22)


Prayer is an integral part of these retreats, and we want our school community to pray around the clock for our students.

We have created a sign-up form to commit to a specific time to pray over our students. It is spread over the hours when our students will be on Encounter, starting with the seniors who go early.

Please take a moment to sign up for a time slot. And, of course, be in prayer in the days leading up to, during, and after Encounter.

Thank you!
