Starting Point Class- August 23 & 30, 2026

Starting Point is a two-week class for anyone who has decided to follow Jesus. You will learn about living your new life in a relationship with Jesus, belonging to the Body of Christ, and what it means to have the Holy Spirit living in you.

Starting Point is a great follow-up to our Baptism Class, and the next step for anyone who has chosen to receive Jesus Christ into their lives.

Dates: August 23, & 30 2026

Time: 9:00 AM (before service)

Sign here up today and take your first step with Jesus in this two‑week journey!

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, unused bottles of baby wash and/or diaper rash cream to Encounter 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.

Could you use some help with diapers, wipes, baby shampoo, clothing, formula and many other items for your family? Come visit our children's pantry today from 9:00-11:00AM & 5:30-7:30PM.

We would love to meet you!
