REAL MEN

In this passage we read of men who were distressed, in debt and discontented - not an attractive, appealing group, but David captained them to greatness. A man with a heart after God took a bunch of ‘mis-fits’ and made them (as later described) ‘mighty men’.

 

Our purpose and goal is to impact the hearts and lives of men. To show them there is purpose and meaning to life. That no matter what state they find themselves in, through the right connection, they can be transformed.

 

Together we desire to ‘do’ life together. Realizing we’re not perfect, but through God’s Word begin to see our ‘role’ in the home, society and church – and rise to His challenge. We realize it’s not the past that counts (that’s forgiven) but this day forward…. Come and play your part- come, develop and grow into a mighty man of God!

 

REAL MEN meet in different groups during our small group semester.

Worship Ministry

Ezekiel 46:9

“But when the people of the land come before the LORD on the appointed feast days, whoever enters by way of the north gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate; and whoever enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate. He shall not return by way of the gate through which he came, but shall go out through the opposite gate."


This verse is the heart of the Encounter Church Praise and Worship Team. Although this passage speaks about the formalities of the sanctuary in Ezekiel’s day, the truth within it is so relevant for today. Just as the people had to exit the opposite way from which they entered, our goal is to usher in the presence of God so that no one leaves the same way that they came. We believe that through praise and worship lives can be completely changed by the power of God, and it’s our charge to see that accomplished.
