Graduation was held in early June. We are very proud of our students who finished their California high school graduation requirements, but are continuing their time as students at Christian Encounter.
2020 will mark Christian Encounter’s 50th year since its inception in 1970. Join us Sept. 18-20, 2020 for a time to celebrate the ministry’s half-century milestone and to reflect on five decades of tending lives and training leaders.
Who: Anyone who wants to come celebrate with us! What: Reconnect, reflect, remember. The weekend will include music, fun activities, and replays of classic Ranch skits. More details to follow. When: Sept. 18-20, 2020 Where: Christian Encounter Ranch Why: Celebrating our 50th anniversary and reuniting with former students, interns, and staff. Remember the miracles? We all have stories of miraculous provision, of miraculous transformation that we witnessed during our time at Christian Encounter. We’d like to compile these stories to be shared at our 50th anniversary celebration. Please take some time to detail those memories and email them to Marion at mpcemgv@hotmail.com.
They came to California from every state in the Union—from Maine to Oregon and everywhere in between—and many landed at Christian Encounter Ranch. It was the early ‘70s and most were unkempt, “aromatic” hitchhikers: girls in bell-bottom pants, Beatle-haired guys, and guitar-strummin’ folk singers— and no one knew quite what to make of the unbridled young hippies. They were in the midst of a revolution, seekers of freedom and excitement, rejecting everything conventional and valued by their parents.
