GOD. LIFE. COMMUNITY. These three words sum up the heart of Encounter.

We love Jesus wholeheartedly, we’re unashamed, and desire for others to know God!

We live from a place of encounter. We believe faith should be something that shapes the rest of our lives. We hold true to the Scriptures and see a God who has unconditional love for humanity.

We believe life in Christ shouldn’t be walked alone. The community of Encounter is incredible and we invite you to join us this Thursday at 6:30pm at New Creation Church (1124 N River Dr, North Mankato)

Encounter God in everyday life together in community.

Looking for a community to meet awesome people and grow in your faith? Encounter meets every Thursday at 6:30pm at New Creation Church (1124 N River Dr, North Mankato). DM us for a ride.

Encounter launched in the MNSU dorms. We’ve always been homegrown! In 2010, Encounter hosted its first gathering in the CSU Ballroom! It was amazing! The prayer going in was, “Even if it’s for one person, we’ll do it, Lord!” The worship was passionate, the message was powerful, and students responded by making Jesus Lord & Savior of their lives! It was incredible! Since then, thousands of students have been impacted.

Success has never been just drawing a crowd. The aim of Encounter has always been to raise disciples of Jesus to love God with all our heart, soul, mind & strength and to love our neighbor as ourselves—the first great commandment leading to the second.

At Encounter, you’ll experience the Bible powerfully expounded, God’s presence felt, passionate prayer, salvation & miracles, outreach testimonies, and a strong community. 🙌
