About Encounter Church 

OUR MISSION

TO LEAD PEOPLE INTO ENCOUNTERS WITH GOD AND EQUIP THEM TO BE LIVING ENCOUNTERS WHEREVER THEY GO.

At Encounter Church, we know people are spiritually hungry and searching for more. As humans, our hunger for purpose, connection, and authenticity bleeds into every area of life. It drives our relationships and decisions in the office or at home with kids. It spills over into what we do every day because when we can't find what our hearts desire, we settle for less and wonder if things will ever change.

We believe through deep personal connection and spiritual family, encountering God truly happens and becomes a way of life. People who encounter the presence of God build lasting relationships, walk in their destiny, and their life overflows, becoming a beacon of life to others. When your soul is satisfied, new life becomes contagious and you become a conduit of life wherever you go.

When your soul is satisfied

NEW LIFE BECOMES CONTAGIOUS AND YOU BECOME A CONDUIT OF LIFE WHEREVER YOU GO
