Encounter Worship Service 11:00 am Sunday's year round
Encounter is an outreach service sponsored by Hope Church. Services began on Sunday, May 24, 2009. You are encouraged to “come as you are”. Encounter is for everyone! Children, teens, adults and seniors regardless of race or gender. Maybe you are not into the whole "Church" thing? That's fine, but just come and check us out. Encounter is unique!
The service is held in the new auditorium recently completed and connected to the original church facility. A picture of the new entrance is shown to the left. Come early and get to know staff members and other believers. Refreshments are served in the greeting area just outside of the auditorium.
Check out the new foundation! (updated 6/7/2009)
About Encounter
The Encounter Service is in answer to the calling we have heard from our Wednesday night youth programs of SMACK and SNL. See www.smackandsnl.com for more details. Encounter is a Christian worship service that offers attendees a new experience. Services will include current music selections along with other forms of worship and praise. We offer attendees a new way to worship and praise God. Services will never be the same! The goal is to encounter Christ!
Our intent is to reach not only the family members of the our current youth programs, but to reach out to anyone who currently does not have a church home in the South Haven area. Our desire is for you to create many lasting relationships and the one true relationship with Jesus Christ. This is a come as you are service, there is no need to dress up to attend.
We are committed to meeting each individual's needs, not where we want them to be in their journey of life, but where they are today. Come and Encounter:
-
Encounter the living God full of grace and forgiveness
-
Encounter a new family community
-
Encounter reconciliation to the risen Christ
Join us on Sunday's at 11:00 am. We can't wait to encounter the living God with you!
