EncounterChurch-CMA

Encounter Church is a place to connect in community & with God. Join us as we seek and encounter God together. It may be the Grand Canyon or the Grand Tetons.

Whether you're new to Christianity, have followed Jesus for years, or are just exploring spiritual questions, you'll feel welcome here. At Encounter Church, our name says a lot about us and what we value. If you are like us, we have pictures of places we would love to see and people we would love to meet. If you live in the south, it may be a very snowy place. As for people, it may be a sports fig
