WHY ENCOUNTER
Real people.
A living Word.
A brighter tomorrow.
ENCOUNTER is the English Ministry of Graceway Church—a community where people can explore faith, grow through God’s Word, and find a place to belong.
Whether church has been part of your life for years or you are simply curious about Jesus, you are welcome here. We gather around Scripture, worship together, share life honestly, and learn what it means to follow Christ in everyday life.
Christian growth happens in community as we encourage, serve, learn, and carry one another.
We want our homes, schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods to see the hope we have in Christ.
OUR MINISTRIES
A place to belong.

Take the guesswork out of Sunday.
Visiting a church for the first time can feel uncomfortable. We want to make it simple.
