We are no longer meeting together for worship gatherings, and are bringing the Encounter Church ministry to a close. Click here to read more. |
About God
We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God)
who became flesh to reveal God to man and to become the Savior of the lost world.About Mankind
We believe that mankind was created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man is incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through his own effort.About Salvation
We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, salvation occurs only when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin.About the Scriptures
We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit of God to write the very words of Scripture. Therefore, we believe the Bible is without error and reveals the very character and heart of God.About the Christian Life
We believe that every Christian will live for Christ and not for himself. By obedience to the Word of God and daily yielding to the Spirit of God, every believer will mature and be conformed to the image of Christ.About the Church
We believe that the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving Him and by making Him known to the lost world.We are taking a non-denominational approach to be something different that helps people encounter God in a tangible way in the context of real life.

The best way to understand and learn about any community is to experience it on the relational level. Statements of faith can tell you what a faith community's beliefs are, but they can’t tell you who they are and more importantly, how they live out those beliefs in real life.
