What an incredible response from our ENCOUNTER family!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who showed up and donated to our Fill the Truck event! It was so encouraging to see so many people come together with generous hearts, bringing donations and helping us fill the truck with items that will make a real difference in our community.

Every bag, every box, and every donation represented someone choosing to love and serve our neighbors in a tangible way.

We are so grateful for a church family that continues to show up, give generously, and care for our community so well.

Such a beautiful night serving together at City Center!

We’re missing Lori, Evan, and Jane in this group photo, but our Care & Groups team had the best time sharing dinner, conversation, and fellowship with the residents.

It was so special seeing everyone come out, sit with us, and simply enjoy being together. They were incredibly grateful for the meal, but we were just as grateful for the opportunity to spend time with them and hear their amazing stories.

Already looking forward to being back next month!

Join us on Sunday, November 1 as we come together at a one-church family gathering for worship, baptisms, and an inspiring, family-friendly message. We will not have our normal service times and will instead meet as one united ENCOUNTER family at 10 am.

Kids are encouraged to join us in ENCOUNTER Kids, with fun, age-appropriate programs available for all ages!

And to make the morning extra special, we’re having a Pajama Party! Have your kids come dressed in their favorite PJs and ready for a fun-filled morning created just for them. We can’t wait to see them!

Take advantage of the end of daylight savings, and join us an hour early (at 9 am) for a free pancake breakfast in The PLEX! No pre-registration required!

We’re looking forward to being together and celebrating with our entire church family!

What a joy to celebrate child dedications with our ENCOUNTER family! We prayed over these precious children and their parents as they committed to raising them to know and love Jesus. Join us in continuing to pray for these families as they grow in faith together!

We want to invite you to our Welcome Party, a fantastic way to get plugged in and discover how to connect more deeply. You’ll learn more about our mission and vision, meet our pastoral staff, and mingle as you hear about the many amazing ministries and outreaches we have at ENCOUNTER.

If you’re new (or feel new!), join us September 27 after each Sunday service, under the big canopy on the patio. You’ll have the chance to meet our incredible leaders and ask any questions you may have.

We hope you’ll join us—we can’t wait to get to know you better and help you find your place here at ENCOUNTER!
