Encounter Church

About this church

Encounter Church describes itself as a Spirit-filled church and holds its Sunday service at 10 a.m. at 6922 Pocahontas Road in Bessemer, Alabama. A visit includes greeters, worship, practical Bible teaching, and a kids' program. The church's stated goal is to help people build a personal relationship with Jesus and find their purpose, and the Plan a Visit page lets families tell the church ahead of time that they are coming.

EC Kids begins right after the worship portion: children check in at the nursery before the service, follow leaders to the EC Kids building, and are picked up there or at the nursery after the service. EC Students serves grades 6 to 12, and the site mentions youth nights, retreats, summer camps, and a tutoring option for students. Separate pages describe ministries for men, women, young adults, and senior adults. Next Steps include a Blueprint class, baptism, small groups, serve teams, School for Life, and baby dedication. Confirm times and details on the website before visiting.
