Epicentre Phases
Phase One: primal fuel Church leaders select youth from their congregations that exhibit gifts of leadership. These youth attend group and one-on-one training sessions about leadership and evangelism and exercise these skills throughout Epicentre. BGEAC's goal is to help local churches develop young leaders that can support and grow existing ministries to reach young non-believers when Epicentreis over.
Phase Two: hallofuzion To kick start Epicentre, churches invite their youth to come together for a night of worship and a call to evangelism. Students are challenged to refocus their lives on Jesus and to participate in Epicentre.
Phase Three: transition If your church left the community, would people notice? This phase is all about transitioning from just talking about Christ's love for people to acting on it. It's about loving our community with practical and tangible service projects throughout Epicentre that helps the community transition into a better place to live.
Phase Four: gravity In three sessions, Christians will examine their faith, author their personal story, and learn how to connect with non-Christian friends to effectively talk about Jesus.
Phase Five: event horizon In four sessions, youth invite their non-Christian friends to explore the Christian faith through concerts, dynamic presentations, biblical teaching, and small group discussions. [Materials used in these sessions will also be made available to youth pastors and leaders for future use in their own churches].
Phase Six: ignition An electrifying night of music, celebration, and the proclamation of Jesus Christ is the perfect place to try out Epicentre's evangelism training. Christian youth are encouraged to invite their peers to this dynamic concert to begin the faith conversation.
Phase Seven: global velocity This is all about putting Jesus' love into action around the world. On this trip, youth will apply what they have learned about sharing and living out their faith in another context and culture. It's about moving globally-seeing leaders and students released into missions.
