When you are here, you’ll find a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and a community of people encountering God together through worship, prayer, and a message from the Bible.

If you want coffee and some great conversations, please come early. People usually start arriving about 30 minutes before the service starts to talk and hang out.

Yes, we do! We start with families worshipping together at the beginning of the service. Then, after worship, the children can go with their trained leaders who have passed background checks and have been trained in keeping children safe. They will experience a lesson in God’s Word followed by a time to play together.

We hold to the core beliefs that the church has always held since its beginning. We want to focus on the major points, while allowing room for discussion and debate on the others. We do this because we want to join with others, and have them join us, in what matters to God: His people actively bringing others into His family. On the core beliefs we seek unity, on the distinctives and others we seek charity, and toward one another we seek to act in love.

We are part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance (CMA) Denomination (cmalliance.org), and more about our beliefs can be found on their WEB site (https://cmalliance.org/who-weare/our-faith-and-mission/). The first part of the CMA belief statement says: "In The Alliance, we are Jesus people. We say 'All of Jesus,' because we're after His Lordship, a complete transformation in our lives through His Spirit. Scripture tells us that 'the same power that raised Jesus from the grave is at work within us. If we believe that, then our lives will change." This is what happens when we have an encounter with Jesus. This is what we want to be and do at Encounter Church.
