Encounter Church
A place you can encounter Jesus
Our Story
What is Encounter Church all about?
We opened the doors as Glad Tidings Assembly of God in 1974. In 1989 we took a step in faith and built a sanctuary that seats 700 people and have seen God bless this Church body ever since. In 2018 we decided to change the name from Glad Tidings to Encounter Church because of our hearts to see individuals encounter God, encounter Community, and encounter Purpose. A lot has changed in the past forty years, but our core values have remained the same.
Core Values:
-
A church firmly founded upon the word of God, committed to the truth of scripture as our guide.
-
A church intentionally investing in the family, ministering to and mentoring people of all ages.
-
A church where all are accepted and loved, where our differences enrich and empower us.
-
A church that believes every member has a ministry, that offers opportunities for people to fulfill their purpose.
-
A church that is conscious of its community, committed to enriching the lives of those around us.
-
A church with an outward emphasis, expanding its reach across the earth until all have heard.
-
A church passionately pursuing His presence, relying upon the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.
