Plan Your Visit

We're Moving to 10:30 AM!

Starting Sunday, August 2, we are officially changing our Sunday morning service time.

Over the last few months, we’ve noticed several people pull into our parking lot around 10:15 AM and end up driving away because they didn’t want to walk into the sanctuary late. We never want anyone to miss out on what God is doing here just because of the clock.

So, we are moving our start time back 30 minutes to 10:30 AM.

Shifting to 10:30 AM aligns us with standard service times, making it easier for guests and families to join us. Even better, it opens up the space we need to launch some incredible things before the main service begins, like a weekly pre-service prayer meeting and space for Sunday small groups.

Go ahead and update your phone alarms, mark your calendars, and help us spread the word!

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.

We all carry burdens we weren’t meant to bear alone. Whether it is a mistake we are trying to hide or a struggle that feels impossible to overcome, we often try to carry the weight on our own. But what if the invitation from God is not to fix ourselves, but to simply run back to Him?
