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.

We invite you to pause, rest, and enjoy a meaningful Sabbath Sunday with your family and friends wherever you are. There will be no in‑person services on this day. A devotional email will be sent beforehand to guide you into a time of reflection, connection, and worship at home or on the go.

Please note: Beginning July 12, 2026, we will transition to one service for the summer.

We pray this Sabbath brings you rest and renewal.

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!

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

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!

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

• 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.
