Plan Your Visit

Find Jesus Here!

At Encounter Church, everything we do comes back to one thing, helping people find a real, life-changing relationship with Jesus. Wherever you're coming from, whatever your story, you are exactly who Jesus is looking for.

We believe church should be a place where you genuinely encounter something: a God who knows you, a community that welcomes you, a purpose that drives you, and a mission worth living for.

If you're in the Toccoa, Georgia area, or just passing through, come as you are. Jesus is here, and so are we.
