The Encounter

The Encounter Our mission is to help people encounter God in such a way that their lives are transformed now and forever!

We are a gathering of imperfect people seeking to know and Encounter God in our everyday lives. Our Vision

Our vision is to be a gathering of people whose lives are characterized by genuine, heartfelt worship; obedience to Christ flowing from a love for Him; proclaiming the life-giving message of Christ through our words and actions; meeting needs under the empowering of the Holy Spirit; and esta

blishing meaningful, God-honoring relationships. Core Values

We believe that the message of Christ should be presented in a way which makes it interesting, accessible, and relevant to as many people as possible. The worship of God should be genuine, involving the mind, body, and emotions, unhindered by obligation to the traditions of the past. We believe that God is powerful and present, and that He is willing to work in miraculous ways to demonstrate His love and meet people’s needs. We believe that when presented with truth people should be given an opportunity to respond in the moment, in an atmosphere of prayer and loving support from others. We believe the church should be characterized by expectant, faith-driven prayer during corporate gatherings, in small groups, when ministering to others, and in everyday life. We believe that all believers are equipped with spiritual gifts and called to ministry which fits their passion, meets the needs of others, and demands reliance on the Holy Spirit, who empowers us.
