Being A Church Without A Building

As a new community of faith, Encounter does not possess a building of it's own to gather for worship. This presents both opportunities and challenges.

It reminds us that church is not a building or an event, but a people and a lifestyle of faith. It reminds us that following Jesus takes place in every aspect of our lives.

We have been fortunate to meet at several unique and outstanding locations in Helena such as the Dunphy Building, Exploration Works, and the historic Pattern House.

At each location we've gathered, we've been intentional to create an atmosphere that is authentic, welcoming, and unique — so that people can encounter God in a real and tangible way.

Seeking A New Gathering Location

After five years of being vacant, Encounter's most recent gathering location, the Pattern House, may soon have a new owner.

We are currently looking to open a conversation with this potential new owner, but must relocate our morning gatherings for now.

We are exploring potential new gathering locations and will be relocating our next morning gathering which takes place Sunday, June 26. Appropriately, we will be continuing our Chase The Lion series and exploring what it means to "Overcome Adversity."

What's Next?

We are making strategic plans to soon begin gathering for worship every Sunday, but will continue with our current schedule until further notice.

You can join us for our unique, edgy, and authentic worship environment every 2nd and 4th Sunday mornings. We also meet for LifeGroup every 1st and 3rd Sunday.

WEEKLY EVENTS BY SUNDAY:
1st Sunday: LifeGroup @ 5:30pm
2nd Sunday: Worship Gathering @ tba
3rd Sunday: LifeGroup @ 5:30pm
4th Sunday: Worship Gathering @ tba
5th Sunday: Engage Your Community


Please check back soon for more on our June 26 and upcoming morning worship gathering times and location. To be notified when we announce our new gathering location for June 26, or if you have a lead or idea to suggest for our next gathering location in Helena, contact us today!.
