DEFINED BY GRACE
At ENCOUNTER, we keep things simple. People matter to us, no matter what age or background. We love learning more about God and His purposes for our lives. And everything we do is a warm reminder of God’s unconditional love and acceptance.
FEATURED EVENTS
As we come out of the other side of the pandemic, we are excited to gather together again as an ENCOUNTER family. We have a whole slate of ways to connect and HAVE FUN. From a women’s dinner, to a men’s meet-up, movie nights, and a day at the beach, keep an eye out for ways to get out and come together.
Keep the summer fun rolling in, and meet up with us for a day at the beach! Come anytime between 10 am – 3 pm at Schoolhouse Beach by Pierpont Elementary School. Bring your chairs, towels, beach toys, and boogie boards. Make sure to pack a lunch and your sunscreen.
We have the opportunity as a church family to extend the love and hope of Jesus to some of the most impoverished migrant communities in Oxnard and El Rio. Join us in collecting backpacks & school supplies for the upcoming school year to support families in need. We need your assistance… get your whole family or small group involved!
Backpacks can be dropped off during weekend services through Sunday, August 15.
Join the ENCOUNTER Kids Team on the courtyard patio at ENCOUNTER on Friday, August 20 at 6:30 pm to see a special presentation of Toy Story 2! You bring dinner, we’ll provide dessert! We’ll have s’mores, popcorn and drinks for you to enjoy before and during the movie! Reserve a sitting space and be sure to bring your own chairs and blankets! Movie will begin at 7:45 pm. Registration is needed only so we know how much food to get!
Would you like to be part of a rewarding ministry serving kids? We can help you do that! Please consider joining the ENCOUNTER Kids Team for this upcoming school year. We have multiple areas to serve in and can find a role that matches your talents and availability!

Now the hurricanes have displaced […]
Celebrating the work of our Global Partners
Recently, our Global Outreach Team had an online celebration for our Global Partners (not named for security) who have been serving cross-culturally for 16 years.
