Do You Need a Church Family?
At Encounter Ministries, we view membership as a means of discipleship, partnership and importation. There is nothing more important than being a part of a vibrant body of believers, and we’d like to invite you into our family. That’s why we’ve opened up our membership to Christians around the world with our new Online Membership Class.
A Chance to Become A Member of Encounter Ministries
This course walks you through what it means to be a member of Encounter Ministries. We will cover who we are, what we believe, and how that applies to you as a believer. We are excited for you to partner with us!
Doctrines and Beliefs
Here at Encounter Ministries, we encourage active Christianity. What I mean by this is that we not only believe the doctrines of the faith, but we walk out Christian lifestyles. In this eCourse, you will learn our statement of faith, standard of membership, and much more!
Community Culture
Those who have been to Encounter Ministries will tell you, that we have a culture of community. In modern society with technology and COVID-19, it’s easy to feel secluded and alone, but not here at Encounter Ministries!
Standard of Membership
Once you enroll, I encourage you to look at our standard of membership. As a member of Encounter Ministries, you will be required to live a holy and set apart lifestyle. We don’t require you to be perfect to join, but we do require you to start living for Jesus once you do.

Code of Conduct
Our vision for you and every person who calls Encounter Ministries home is that you discover all that God has for you and walk in His plan for your life. As you grow in your relationship with God, what does He expect from you, both inside and outside of the church building? A member of a church is a representative of that church and of the Lord Jesus Christ wherever they go.
