Local churches host Deco-TEC and TEC weekends.
Advertising is by word of mouth at local high schools and churches.
The exact events that take place at a weekend are kept a surprise for teens, but activities involve gathering in small groups to talk about spiritual issues, watching presentations, praying, worshiping, and encountering the gospel. Because Deco-TEC and TEC programs are not associated with one particular denomination, the weekends are run by volunteers who previously attended the program. An ecumenical governing board appoints leaders. The value of TEC goes beyond spiritual revitalization for RCA youth. TEC and Deco-TEC are two programs in which RCA members have been involved.
