About Our Ministry

Caren Apple is the visionary founder of Bride of Christ Encounter. In 2017, God birthed a unique ministry through her that has helped countless women fully understand the magnitude of His love as a loving Father and the great cost He was willing to make in sacrificing His only begotten Son.

Caren truly believes that the reason for such a successful ministry, is that God has called each one who serves as equals, that we all have a specific calling, and that calling is to make sure that each woman who comes through the Encounter will know just how much they are accepted, they are wanted, they are loved, and they have been chosen for such a time as this.

Jesus desires to be more than our Savior, our Lord, and our King. He longs for more than a mere relationship that ties us together by His blood. He craves fellowship that reaches beyond our prayers and worship; an intimacy that can only be experienced as a bride.

Veiled in the pages of His word, you will discover a beloved Bridegroom that is waiting for you. This book uncovers an ancient tradition steeped in Jewish culture of betrothment, and how Jesus parallels this same tradition in pursuing you as His bride; hidden in plain sight.

You were created out of a love that is absolute and knows no boundaries. Before the foundation of the world was ever spoken into existence, you were known.

Jesus says-

"...I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."

-John 10:10b

Let His own words capture your heart and allow His Holy Spirit to reveal to you the love of a Father who has loved you beyond all creation.

Let Him love you with the fullness of Himself; for you are His true love, His greatest gift, the love of His life, and the sole reason for His sacrifice.

"So happy to share this experience with all of you. Caren and all the ladies, thank you for helping to usher me into the next phase of my life. When I put my crown at Jesus' feet, I gave my life back to Him! Going forward; I am totally His!! Love you all."

"I was intrigued by the Bride of Christ Encounter, having never experienced anything like it before. My first Encounter gave me a deeper understanding of God's love, and each session opened my eyes to seeing Jesus as my Bridegroom. I had a powerful personal encounter with God that day, and I haven’t been the same since. God bless this ministry—if you want to support one, I highly recommend Bride of Christ."
