  • Engage Camp

    In a society bent on seeking adventure, pursuing happiness, and discovering a sense of purpose, it’s time to Engage the culture. Our goal is to Engage students and encourage them to discover who they are, by discovering The One who made them that way.

    Now is the time to Engage the next generation and prompt them to grow in the understanding of their individual strengths, not just for their own good, but for the good of those around them and around the world.

  • Exhort Retreats

    We also strongly value the role of student pastors, their spouses, and volunteer leaders in student ministries. We would like to come a long side these leaders and Equip the Equippers through our Exhort Retreat.

    This retreat is located in Pigeon Forge, TN and is held annually. We'd love to see you take advantage of this opportunity and join us. We provide practical tools that can be utilized in your ministry alongside time to recharge and receive encouragement.

  • Empower Trips

    In partnership with Manna World Wide, E3 Ministries' desire is for every student to have the opportunity to get away, experience honest adventure, find real joys, and know true purpose. Our desire is for them to know Jesus, experience life change, and feel Empowered through experiencing a culture that is unique from their own.

    These trips allow God to work in and through students, while encouraging them to get outside of their comfort zones.

What we Believe.

  • The Bible is God’s Holy Word, without error, and is the sole authority for life.

  • We believe that the one true God exists eternally in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that these, being one God, are equal in deity, power, and glory. Psalm 104; Psalm 139; Matthew 10:29-31; 28:19; Acts 17:24-28; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Ephesians 1:9-12; 4:4-6; Colossians 1:16-17; Hebrews 1:1-3; Revelation 1:4-6.

  • We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, fully God and fully man, that He was conceived and born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and sacrificed Himself to be punished in substitution for sinners. By the blood of His cross and His resurrection from the dead, He obtained for us eternal redemption, the forgiveness of sins, and life everlasting. He was raised bodily and ascended to the right hand of the Father. He will return to the earth personally and visibly to consummate His kingdom. Matthew 1:18-25; John 1:1-18; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:1-28; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:10-14; Ephesians 1:7; Philippians 2:6-11; Colossians 1:15-23; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:11; Hebrews 7:25; 9:13-15; 10:19; 1 Peter 2:21-25; 1 John 2:1-2.

  • We believe that the Holy Spirit regenerates and forever indwells all Christians. The Holy Spirit is the divine helper, assistant, counselor, and instructor and His work is to reveal Christ, convict of sin, lead to repentance, guide believers, comfort, strengthen, and sanctify the soul. Joel 2:28; Matthew 3:11; John 1:12-13; Acts 1:8; John 7:37-39; Eph 1:13-14; 5:18.

  • We believe that the Holy Spirit regenerates and forever indwells all Christians. The Holy Spirit is the divine helper, assistant, counselor, and instructor and His work is to reveal Christ, convict of sin, lead to repentance, guide believers, comfort, strengthen, and sanctify the soul. Joel 2:28; Matthew 3:11; John 1:12-13; Acts 1:8; John 7:37-39; Eph 1:13-14; 5:18.

  • We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. No ritual, work, or any other activity is required in order to be saved. This saving grace of God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, also sanctifies us by enabling us to do what is pleasing in God’s sight in order that we might be progressively conformed to the image of Christ. We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever. John 1:12-13; 6:37-44; 10:25-30; Acts 16:30-31; Romans 3-4; 8:1-17, 31-39; 10:8-10; 1 Corinthians 1:4–8; Ephesians 2:8-10; Philippians 2:12-13; Titus 3:3-7; 1 Peter 1:5; 1 John 1:7, 9.
