Encounter Groups
At Encounter we believe that "church" doesn't begin or end on Sunday morning. We strive to create a community of like minded people who share, learn and grow together through Christ. To that end, we offer various Encounter Groups that meet in homes once a week for a 12 week semester. Encounter Groups enable us to dig deeper into God’s Word in a casual, relaxed atmosphere and learn more about what God has planned for us.
Whether you're a college student just looking for a discussion about who Jesus is and what He did on the cross, a mother of small children who wants to learn more about the Bible and how it applies to your life and family, or maybe your children are grown and you’re looking for an in depth study; we have an Encounter Group for you!
