Encounter Church exists to worship God, connect with one another and our communities, and grow to become more like Jesus.

The story of us all...
Jesus told the story of a man who had two sons. The younger wished his father was dead and asked for his inheritance in advance. Dad gave it to him and he wasted every dime. Penniless, he decided to go home. When his dad saw him, he ran to meet him. The older brother, believing he had earned his dad's love by never making mistakes, was jealous. He couldn't believe his dad could act so recklessly. Both of these sons were lost; only one was found.

People at Encounter come from a wide variety of backgrounds, but our common thread is that we know that at times in our lives we've all messed up. We've been the younger son who needed to swallow his pride and ask for forgiveness. We've been the older son who wrongly believed he had the answers and everything would be better if only everyone was like him. We've been the father, who was charged with running after those who've hurt us and embracing them even before they admitted any wrongdoing.
