Why TEC?

TEC is a spiritual movement that flows from a dynamic retreat weekend. TEC serves young people at the diocesan or regional level rather than the parish level. Approximately 40 TEC communities are actively sharing the Gospel in 6 countries throughout the year, with thousands encountering Christ annually. The TEC Conference serves these communities with formation, resources, training, and support.

OUR MISSION

Believing that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the core message of our Christian faith, TEC offers to youth and young adults the opportunity to encounter and integrate the Paschal Mystery at a time of passage through young adulthood.

OUR HISTORY

In 1965, a young priest in the Diocese of Lansing sought to create a place where high school seniors could encounter Christ and a living community. His idea sparked a movement that still burns brightly today.
