God’s Presence is what we seek. 

We want God’s presence to be the essential element of everything that happens in and through Encounter. It’s why we felt led to this name.

Jesus said that apart from his presence in our lives we can do nothing. With him we can do everything. God’s presence breathes life and laughter into our souls. His presence guides us, empowers us, comforts us and heals us.

The primary ways we demonstrate this value is through prayer, worship, and an ever increasing knowledge of God and empowerment of the Spirit. To this end we want to live expectantly, knowing that God can break into our lives at any given moment of our day to touch us and those around us.
