He’s inviting us to know Him more deeply.” “If I’m honest, one of the greatest reasons my faith became real wasn’t because I learned more information. It was because I learned to pray.” https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d577c5e4b039837ce037bf/29e937be-b909-40b8-acf2-a71a7deb8648/playlist.m3u8 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d577c5e4b039837ce037bf/8d5b49ec-5ba9-48c3-9a7a-83d83c977792/Who+We+Are+%28Promo%29.png Home Looking for a church in Belding, Michigan?

Because we began as a church plant, multiplication is part of our DNA. We believe the local church is one of God’s primary ways of bringing hope to communities, which is why we remain committed to planting new churches and investing in the next generation of church leaders. As part of that commitment, we dedicate 10% of our annual income to support church planting efforts locally and beyond. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d577c5e4b039837ce037bf/b8b6d31f-e724-4a97-8c73-4b18846aa3eb/tempImage0p1QBA.jpg Values, Mission & Beliefs - Greenhouse Multiplication Network Since 2010, Encounter has partnered with Greenhouse to help launch and strengthen new churches.
