Our entire church family is journeying through the New Testament together in 2026, one chapter at a time. We’ve created a simple reading plan, along with an audio version to walk alongside it. This journey is an invitation to slow down, open Scripture, and let God shape you one chapter at a time. Whether you feel incredibly close to Jesus right now or you’re just finding your way back, our hope is that this year feels like a fresh start with Him. As you read, take your time, underline what stands out, ask honest questions, and invite the Holy Spirit to speak into your everyday life. And remember, you’re not doing this alone, we’re doing it together. Listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify using the links below

This Sunday at ENCOUNTER, we’re celebrating the incredible moms in our ENCOUNTER family while leaning into a message for anyone who knows what it feels like to be stretched thin, under pressure, or carrying more than expected.
Join us for an encouraging morning and a powerful word from 1 Peter that reminds us how God meets us, strengthens us, and lifts us up in ways we may not
