Core Values: Our Unique DNA and Culture

Some values, such as truth and scripture, are non-negotiable.
But these core values make up the unique DNA and culture of Encounter.

Creative

We know there is life in the creative actions of our God and want people
to experience that life as a result of all we creatively do through Jesus.

Authentic

We will be real and transparent in our life struggles and successes in order
to remove barriers in our personal relationships with Jesus and others.

Relational

We believe life transformation happens best
in the context of personal relationships.

Relevant

We will speak into people’s lives with the true relevance of Christ in ways that they
can experience God through "touchstones" in their life experience and culture.

Intentional

We believe that when we are purposeful and focused in our actions, we stand
a much better chance of being able to accomplish significant things.

Excellent

We will do the very best that we can with what God has given us
because excellence honors God and inspires people.
