Welcome to
Encounter Church
We are glad to have you visiting with us online. Please contact us if you have any questions or prayer requests. You are invited to join us this Sunday morning at 10:00 for our worship service.
Our Current Teaching Series
Encounter Groups
Our Encounter Groups provide an opportunity for deeper fellowship and Bible study in a small group setting. These groups meet in homes around our community during the week. Contact Pastor Dan to find a group to join.
Baptism Class
Baptism is a public pronouncement of an inward decision to follow Jesus. For those interested in learning more about baptism, Pastor Dan will be leading a baptism class on Sunday, March 30 following the morning service.
Potluck and Prayer
We gather for a potluck meal and prayer on the first Wednesday evening of each month. The meal begins at 6:30 and the prayer time begins soon after 7:00. Individuals and families are encouraged to bring a finger food dish to share. The evening typically concludes around 8:00. The next Potluck and Prayer is Wednesday, April 2 at the church building.
Men’s Bible Study
On the first Saturday morning of the month the men gather at the church building for a Bible Study from 8:00-9:30am. Coffee and donuts are served. Contact Pastor Dan Horton for more details. The next study is scheduled for Saturday, April 5.
Church Workday
​Many hands make light work! We will be having a church workday on Saturday, April 5 from 9:30 am-12:00 pm. Opportunities to help maintain our building will be available for all skill levels, young and old are encouraged to participate. Contact Charles Lindner if you have any questions.
Good Friday Service
Join us on Good Friday, April 18 as we remember and reflect on our Savior who for the joy set before Him endured the cross and scorned its shame. This service is a time of combined worship with Encounter and Grace Fellowship churches. Childcare will be provided for children ages 4 and under. The service will begin at 7:00 pm.
Easter Sunday
On Easter Sunday morning we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and declare it to be true! We tell the world that Jesus is alive and unashamedly proclaim that the tomb could not hold Him back, death was unable to keep Him down, and the grip of Satan proven powerless. Jesus is risen and we have a hope that will not disappoint. Join us on Sunday, April 20 at 10:00 am for our Easter service.
Student Ministry Fundraiser
Don’t miss an evening of encouraging our students who are attending summer camp and participating in the Big Creek Mission Trip. The fundraiser is scheduled for Sunday, April 27. Mark your calendars and plan on attending!
Church Picnic
Our church picnic is scheduled for Sunday, May 25. The fun takes place at Charlie Vettiner Park right here in J-Town. Burgers, hot dogs, drinks, and paper products are provided. Families are encouraged to bring a side dish and dessert to share. Games and activities will be available following the meal. This is a wonderful opportunity to invite some new folks to come and experience the life of Encounter Church. The picnic begins at 10:30am at the park. We will not have a service at the church building the day of the picnic.
