If you’re ready to publicly proclaim Jesus Christ as your savior, sign up for baptism. There is a class being held Sunday, May 4, 2025, at Encounter Community Church starting at 7:30AM.

Baptisms will take place during both services at Encounter, on Sunday, May 11, 2025.

See you there!

Here at Encounter, we encourage parents of young children to participate in our Child Dedication service.  In Presenting Your Child to the Lord, You Are:

1. Publicly affirming your faith and trust in Christ.

2. Committing yourself to pray daily for the physical, mental, social and spiritual welfare of your child.

3. Setting an example of attending the weekly gatherings.

4. Modeling before your children your love for God and His Word in your home.  

“And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.  And these words I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.”  Deuteronomy 6:5-7

5. Looking for that ‘teachable moment’ when you might present Christ to your child and have the joy of leading him into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

If you are interested in dedicating your child to the Lord, we will be holding a dedication service on May 11, 2025, during our regular worship service.  

We ask that you register your child for this service by filling out the registration form.  Please respond no later than April 27, 2025, to be included in this service. If you have any questions, please contact the staff at Encounter Community Church by calling 616-794-5080 or emailing us at hello@encounter-cc.org.

Calling all men! This is a great opportunity to not only share a great meal together, but also to connect with other believers and to encourage each other in your walk with God. Don’t forget to bring a dish to pass. See you there!

Free blood pressure checks sponsored by our Senior Ministry. Will be available in the church lobby before and after service.

If you are a student ages 6th-12th grade and are interested in becoming a student member of Encounter Community church, please put Sunday, May 18, 2025, on your calendar.  This class will be held at the church at 5:00 PM (before Ignite).  Learn how becoming a Student Member will teach you how to:

• play a significant part in the mission of Encounter Community Church

• receive the same trust and accountability that is given to regular Members

• help others around you grow spiritually

• learn to walk with God in a personal relationship with Him

By attending this class, you are learning about what being a member looks like, not making a commitment to membership.  We pray you will consider attending!

Our monthly Children's Pantry Diaper Drive happens on the 4th Sunday of each month!

We are asking our church body to bring donations of new un-opened diapers to Encounter from during our regular services on Sunday morning. Your donations will be distributed by our Children’s Pantry to those in need right here in our community.

Celebrate our graduates as we recognize them for their remarkable achievements!

Join us as we celebrate last year’s milestones and we imagine what God has in store for HIS church in this next year! Meeting will take place directly after 2nd service.

Refreshments will be provided prior to meeting.
