OUR CHURCH

Encounter Church defines success through the ‘one another’ passages in scripture. Jesus said to his disciples, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples.” More than forty additional ‘one another’ passages appear in the Bible; forgive one another, bear one another, serve one another, care for one another, encourage one another, and pray for one another. When we do these things well, we serve as instruments of Christ to meet the need of the human heart, the greatest of which is to know Jesus, who taught us to love. We invite you to partake of ‘one another’ moments at Encounter Church.

- Pastor Dwight Dozier
