Teens Encountering Christ (TEC) |
Teens Encounter Christ (TEC) is a movement of spirituality. It is founded and unfolds within the living traditions of the Roman Catholic Church. At its core is an evangelizing process which is initiated within an adult community of believers, is shared through a specially designed weekend, and is continually renewed through shared experience within a community of youth and adults.
TEC's unique spiritual vision is centered in the Paschal Mystery. This core truth of our faith is not presented within the format of academic theology, but through the meshing of life with life as the Paschal Mystery is lived out in concrete human experience.
