Happening! in Alabama - A Christian Experience is a program designed for high school youth. It is one of the instruments to renew the church in the power of the Holy Spirit, that the church my respond more readily to its call to spread the Kingdom of God throughout out the world. During a two day gathering, participants experience the love of our Lord Jesus Christ as shown through the sacraments and the ministry of fellow students, clergy, and lay adults. Teens are encouraged to take a renewed faith back into their worlds to "make a friend, be a friend, and bring a friend to Christ." Happening - A Christian Experience endorses the theological statement of the National Youth Ministry Office of the Episcopal Church. This program is facilitated by the National Happening Leadership Conference, the Happening National Committee and the Happening Information Service.
