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
For 21 years, Daniel and Lori Hahn have faithfully served our ENCOUNTER family. Now, adventure awaits them as they launch into their next chapter, focusing fulltime on Catalyst Intl, their ministry encouraging missionaries serving in challenging global environments.
Join us on Sunday, June 27 at 11:30 am (following the second Sunday morning service) as we celebrate their incredible legacy at ENCOUNTER and their journey ahead.
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.
Dinner for Eight is an easy way to to connect with others by simply meeting them for dinner. Come together and share a meal with 6-8 other adults (or 3-4 families). You can meet at your home, in the backyard, at a park, or on the beach. Past groups have even shared dinner on a boat! No homework, simply enjoy 3-4 dinners together during the summer! If you want to join a D48 group, check out our offerings and sign-up!
Summer is a great time to watch a movie outdoors! Join the ENCOUNTER Kids Team on the courtyard patio at ENCOUNTER on Friday, July 23 at 7:00 pm to see a special presentation of Toy Story! You bring dinner, we’ll provide dessert! We’ll have s’mores, popcorn and drinks for you to enjoy before and during the movie!
Join us this July as we walk to raise money to fund Tender Life Maternity Home. Everything raised will be used to fund opportunities for the women of Tender Life to provide a better life for their children. Walk with us, or form a team and raise money for this worthy cause as a group!
Join ENCOUNTER Kids as we Press Play for amazing worship, fun activities, games and community at our summer VBS! This year we have TWO sessions on campus for VBS: June 21 – 25 or June 28 – July 2 (same content both weeks, families can only register for one session).
To make this happen, we need lots of help! We are opening registration for volunteers starting March 28. Adults and teens are all needed and wanted for both weeks. Volunteer for one weeks or both weeks.
