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.

You’re invited to our next Jumpstart Class, where we’ll take a simple, foundational look at what the Bible truly is and the story it tells from beginning to end.

This session is designed for anyone who wants a very basic yet deeper understanding of Scripture—how it came together, what it communicates, and how to approach it with confidence.

In this study, we’ll explore:

• How the Bible came to be

• The story and structure of the Old Testament

• The “Silent Years” between the Testaments

• How the Old Testament leads into the New Testament

• How the New Testament was formed

• Practical and effective ways to study the Bible

If you’ve ever wanted a clearer, big‑picture understanding of the Bible and the grand story it tells, this class is for you.

We’d love for you to join us as we grow deeper together.

ATTENTION ALL MEN!
Join us for a night of food and fellowship and a personal testimony!

Discover Your Spiritual Gifts

God has uniquely equipped every believer with spiritual gifts—special abilities given by the Holy Spirit to build up the Body of Christ and serve His mission. Understanding your gifts isn’t just about finding a role in ministry; it’s about discovering how God designed you to make a meaningful impact.

We invite you to join us for our upcoming Spiritual Gifts Class, where you’ll:

• Learn what Scripture teaches about spiritual gifts

• Explore how your gifts align with your passions and purpose

• Discover how you can serve more effectively in your church and community

Whether you’re new to faith or have been walking with Christ for years, this class is a valuable step toward deeper understanding and connection.

📅 Date: June 14, 2026 🕒 Time: 9:00AM📍 Location: Encounter Community Church

Come be part of this journey. Let’s grow together in faith and purpose.

Register here for this class today. Deadline for registration is June 7, 2026.

(YOU WILL BE SENT AN EMAIL AFTER REGISTRATION THAT WILL INCLUDE A LINK TO AN ASSESSMENT TEST THAT MUST BE COMPLETED BY YOU PRIOR TO ATTENDING THIS CLASS)

Join us for an informative time of looking back at what God has done and preparing for what He is doing! All are encouraged to attend.

Hey men, you’re invited to join us for a morning of great food, genuine connection, and meaningful reflection. We’ll share a hearty breakfast together, enjoy a short devotional, and take time to encourage one another as brothers in Christ.

Bring a dish to pass and come ready for good conversation, laughter, and a refreshing start to your day. We’d love to have you with us as we grow in faith and community.

Hope to see you there!

Happy Fathers Day, Dads!
