CLEARWATER ENCOUNTER
October 17-19, 2025
(Grade 7 to Grade 12)
Our Speaker
-
Pastor Michael Bullett
The son of missionary parents, Michael spent his formative years from 2 to 17 in Papua New Guinea before relocating to the BC Fraser Valley in 1987. Together with his wife, Katarina, they serve on the senior pastoral team at Transform Central Ministries church in Abbotsford, and have 3 grown children and one grandchild.
Michael & Katarina have been in pastoral ministry at Transform Central for more than 30 years and have a passion to see children, youth and young adults find salvation and their ultimate purpose in a real relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Michael’s background and interests include apologetics, cold water swimming, fishing, percussion, music recording and production, and missions. A major part of his life’s work is to raise up spiritual sons and daughters who will, in turn, become spiritual mothers and fathers themselves, according to Malachi 4:5-6.
OUR MISSION
What would it look like if you were face to face with God? If you were to encounter God in that way, would you stay the same? What would change? These are some of the questions we ask every time we begin planning a Clearwater Encounter event.
Our aim is to give young people the opportunity to experience God in a real way, to present the Gospel of Christ, and to extend the Kingdom of God through the equipping of young believers for ministry through the power of the Holy Spirit.
General Information
Each Clearwater Encounter is a weekend filled with fun activities, meaningful worship, and inspiring messages. Ice breakers, creative games, and comfortable lounge areas provide opportunities for youth to let their hair down, enjoy new experiences, and make friends.
*NOTE* We will not be providing WIFI access during our retreats. In the event of an emergency, youth and youth leaders will be provided access to a telephone.
