“I highly recommend Gregg Johnson and the J12 Encounter for everyone who wants to see 8–12-year-olds be about their Father’s business like Jesus was.”

— Jerry Dirmann, Senior Pastor, The Rock, Anaheim, California

The Jesus |at| 12 Encounter is a 2-hour live multimedia ministry impartation event designed for tweens, parents, and those who lead them. Gregg comes for a weekend of ministry and shares the vision concerning the future of the church and its relevance to the body as whole.

Quote:
“This event moves fast but goes deep.”

— A participant

Usually, on Sunday evening families come together for an unforgettable evening where all generations come away with a zeal to live the seven words of Jesus in their lives. The Encounter injects powerful truths through relevant means, such as video, dance, a game show and much more. We have held over 100 J12 Encounters for local churches all over the United States and Canada. Book your Encounter today!

"U guys r awesome!!!! I remember the last J12 conference! I was only 9. Now I am 12 and going after the vision to win souls and make disciples. U guys were the ones that started by putting on the first conference. It planted a seed in my heart. The seed grew and grew and now I am won out for Jesus!!!! Thank U soooooo much!"

We were at the last event a few weeks ago but we drove all the way here to see again. My daughter just had to be here. I guess we’re groupies!

Parent breakout

Hear from Todd and Erin Funk, Age Group Directors at The Rock Church in Anaheim, CA and parents of 4 young boys, for a powerful time of teaching and impartation that will challenge, equip, inspire and awaken you, as parents, to the untapped potential in the lives of your kids and the great responsibility we have been given as parents to steward it.

Quote:
I almost didn’t come but I am so thankful I did. I am a Christian Jew and this has completely changed my view on how to train my kids. You can’t know what this has done for me. Thank you.

Leader breakout

You will hear from Gregg and Jessica Johnson on practical ways to make the principles of the vision of J12 come to life in the lives of your kids and fit within the specific culture of your church. And from Blake Caldwell, (a professional children’s pastor for 18 years and children’s curriculum writer for Group Magazine) you will hear about the unique sociological and physical development of the age group you are working with as well as how to approach it.

Quote:
Thank you so much for coming and sharing this vision. This is exactly what I needed to hear. I didn’t think I had a place in kid’s ministry but you have given me ideas and have answered that question for me.
