WHAT IS TEC? WHAT IS THE MISSION?
TEC stands for Teens Encounter Christ.
Believing that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the core message of our Christian faith, TEC offers youth and young adults the opportunity to encounter and integrate Christ’s Paschal Mystery (dying, rising, and going forth) into their lives at a transitional time when they are experiencing challenges, decisions, confusion, anxiety, and doubts.
