Mission & Vision

Our Vision

The vision of Encounter Church is to create a close community of believers who sacrifice our own comfort to see others transformed by the love of God. The same love that transforms us.

Our Mission

The mission of Encounter Church is to glorify God through reaching those far from God, teaching everyone to draw closer to Jesus, and unleashing believers into the world for ministry.

Our Core Values

Biblical Authority

God has revealed Himself through the Inerrant Word of God, and it is the final authority for our lives. 

Desperate Dependence

We will set impossible goals, take bold steps of faith, and watch God do far more than we can do in our own power. We must pray and continually depend on God  so that the Holy Spirit is free to move. 

Authentic Living

As imperfect people, we must admit our flaws before we can be healed from them. We will lean on Christ's righteousness rather than showing off our own. 

Gospel Foundation

Daily dependence on the gospel changes our attitudes, actions, and values. We are known by dependence on Jesus for salvation and daily living rather than who or what we are against. 

Big Picture Thinking

Missional Giving

Encounter church is a small part of a much bigger picture. The local church is the hope of the world, and we know we can accomplish infinitely more working together with other churches and ministries than working apart.
The church does not exist for Christian consumers; it exists to serve the world. We will live missional lives in our city and beyond and use our blessings to bless others.
