Encounter Church is a gospel-centered church who exists to make disciples who love Jesus, live like Jesus, and lead others to Jesus.

One of our favorite moments every Sunday morning❤️

Before the service, our volunteers and leaders gather to pray—that every person who walks through our doors would experience the love, hope, and grace of Jesus Christ.

Thank you for joining for all who are committed to the ministry of reconciliation. Thank you Pastor David Swanson for encouraging us that we are the priestly caretakers of creation and the church is called to dismantle racism by following the example of Jesus.

Easter at Encounter!

Thank you for celebrating with us this past weekend. We hope to see you again this Sunday for a brand new series!

This wasn’t what they expected.
Not a crown but thorns.
Not a throne but a cross.
Not power but surrender.
Not victory but He gave Himself away.
Yet this was the plan all along.

“By His wounds we are healed.” We remember and we worship.

We invite you to mark the beginning of the Lenten season with our Ash Wednesday Service on February 18th at 6:30PM. You will have the opportunity to receive ashes as a symbol of repentance and reflection as you prepare your heart for the Easter season.  Everyone is welcome!

[encountereastside @encountereast]

We see conflict and devastation all around us, on a scale that we can’t comprehend. Heavenly Father, we believe that you are alone our shelter and strength. You have not abandoned us.

We stand in lament with those who have suffered by ICE. Children of God, we remember you.

Community isn’t just where we gather; it’s where our faith is strengthened. Find out ways to get connected by visiting our webpage or come and see Sundays at 9am and 11am!

Love is proven by how you treat others and the attitude you have towards them. On this day we remember Dr. King’s call to a love that costs us something—a love that confronts injustice, heals division, and reflects the heart of Christ.

[encountereastside @encountereast]

This Sunday, we invite you to wear blue as we stand in solidarity with our sisters and brothers impacted by human trafficking. Through awareness, prayer, and action, we commit ourselves to ending this injustice. #wearblueday

[encountereastside @encountereast]

Every first Sunday, we are committed to a multi-generational expression of faith in our gathered community. We hope to not only be in the same room at the same time with the younger generation, but also to learn and grow from them.

[encountereastside @encountereast]

As we grow in our relationship with God, let's deepen our relationships with one another. Kickstart the New Year with communion and a brand new series! Join us 9am and 11am for the first Sunday of 2026!

"For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders, and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Merry Christmas!
