Video – what is TEC? – from TEC Conference office
This video is from the National TEC Conference. While the video references “Teens” Encounter Christ, our TEC center is named to “Together” Encountering Christ to reflect our inclusion of youth and adults of all ages.
TEC originated as “Teens Encountering Christ” in 1965 as a retreat experience for high school students. There are active TEC centers throughout the United States and foreign countries.
Riverbend TEC began in 1977 and is one of several TEC centers in Minnesota. It has the support of Bishop Chad Zielinski, bishop of New Ulm. Riverbend TEC changed its name to “Together Encountering Christ” to better reflect the presence of both teen and adult participants on the weekends.
The weekend includes music, talks, prayer, Mass, discussions, and fellowship, beginning at 9:30 AM and ending at 4:30 PM.
