Encounter Church

Encounter Church Encounter Jesus. Find Community. Discover Purpose. Change The World. At Encounter Church we are a Spirit-filled community in McCalla, AL.

Our mission is simple:


To help people build a personal relationship with Jesus, discover their God-given purpose, and live empowered lives. We believe that church should be more than just a service—it should be a place where families grow stronger, kids experience God’s love, and students find a faith that lasts.

What a way to close out Legend of the Chain Breaker. 🔗🔥

This series has reminded us that Jesus didn’t set us free so we could go back to the chains He broke.

“For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” — Galatians 5:1 ESV

We’re leaving this series encouraged, challenged, and grateful for the freedom only Jesus can give.

What a Sunday! 🙌

We had an incredible time worshiping together, hearing the Word, and then ending the morning by covering our students, teachers, and school staff in prayer as they head into a new school year. 🎒📚

From prayer stations to a special gift for every student, we wanted them to leave knowing one thing: their church is behind them, praying for them, and believing God has a purpose for them wherever He sends them.

We’re praying for protection, wisdom, courage, great friendships, and opportunities to be a light this school year. ❤️

Let’s keep covering the next generation in prayer! 🙏

What an incredible weekend at Women’s Conference! 🤍

We’re so thankful for every woman who came ready to worship, connect, grow, and encounter God together. From powerful moments in His presence to meaningful conversations and new friendships, this conference was one we won’t forget.

We believe God planted something special in every heart, and we can’t wait to see what He continues to do through the women of Encounter Church.

Here’s a little look back at an amazing time together! ✨

Sunday Recap 🙌

Week 3 of Legend of the Chain Breaker: The Chain of Shame

Shame says, “You are what you’ve done.”
Jesus says, “You are who I say you are.”

Your past doesn’t get the final word. In Christ, shame can be broken, freedom can be found, and your story can be redeemed. ⛓️‍💥
