Happening!
Happening is a Christian experience presented by teenagers for teenagers
Happening is a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime experience. It has been a life changing event for young people all over the country, helping to move the knowledge of God from the mind to the heart.
The Happening program is founded in prayer and depends on the support of other Happeners and Prayer Community of youth and adults willing to commit prayer time to generate an environment in which the Holy Spirit can abound.

fun, games and singing
• A prepared staff of youth, clergy and
lay adults.
