Your Freedom Is Here.
Encounter Freedom is a safe place for real people walking through real struggles to encounter Jesus, find healing, and take their next steps toward lasting freedom.
You don't have to have it all together. You don't have to clean yourself up first. And you don't have to walk through it alone.
Come as you are. Welcome Home.

OUR MISSION
Helping people encounter Jesus, find healing, and walk in freedom.
Everything we do points people toward Jesus because we believe Jesus Changes Everything.
We create a safe place where people can be honest about where they are, discover God's truth, experience His grace, and take practical steps toward the life He created them to live.
Mission Statement:
Lead people into a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ where true freedom begins.
OUR VISION
To see people transformed by Jesus—moving from bondage to freedom, brokenness to healing, isolation to family, and surviving to living with purpose.
This vision describes the future we’re working toward. “To see lives transformed by Christ…” paints that future more vividly while keeping Christ at the center.
Freedom isn't simply getting away from something.
It's becoming who God created you to be.
We want to see people experience lasting transformation spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and practically as they learn to follow Jesus and walk in His truth.
OUR CORE VALUES
1. Jesus- Centered
Jesus Christ is the foundation of everything we do.
“If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” — John 8:36
We believe lasting freedom is found only through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Every message, ministry, and decision points people to Him.
2. Freedom
Freedom is God's desire for every person.
"it is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by the yoke of slavery.." Galatians 5:1
We believe Christ came not only to save people but to set them free from sin, shame, addiction, fear, trauma, and every form of bondage.
3. Hope
No one is beyond God's redeeming grace.
“For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11
No matter a person’s past, we believe Jesus offers hope, purpose, and a future filled with His promises.
Healing
God restores what sin and brokenness have damaged.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3
Healing is a journey that includes spiritual, emotional, relational, and personal restoration through the work of the Holy Spirit.
THE ENCOUNTER FREEDOM CULTURE
These ministry values are supported by a culture of
Authentic Community - We walk together because no one was created to journey alone.
Biblical Truth - God’s Word is our authority and the foundation for everything we teach and practice.
Compassion - We meet people with the same grace and love that Jesus has shown us.
Purpose - Freedom is not the finish line. God calls every believer to grow, serve, and help others experience His freedom.
This culture promises that every person can experience true freedom through Jesus Christ. Everything else—recovery, healing, restoration, discipleship, community—supports that promise.
Whenever we use the encounterFREEDOM logo, write a Facebook post, represent the ministry, prepare a message, select a speaker, select a song, host an event, or train a new team member, we will ask one question: “Does this help people believe they can experience true freedom through Jesus Christ?” If the answer is yes, it belongs. If not, it probably doesn’t fit the culture and promise of encounterFREEDOM.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Every Friday night, you'll find:
A welcoming, judgment-free environment.
People who understand that life can get messy.
Biblical teaching centered on Jesus and practical freedom.
Small-group community where you can be known and supported.
Prayer and encouragement.
Real stories from real people experiencing real transformation.
And most importantly, an opportunity to encounter Jesus.
Doors open at 5:30PM.
Encounter Freedom begins at 6:25 PM and ends at 8:30 PM.
You don't have to register.
You don't have to have everything figured out.
You just have to take the next step.
OUR MINISTRY SCRIPTURE
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
— Galatians 5:1
We believe freedom isn't something we have to earn—Jesus already paid for it.
Our desire is to help people discover what Christ has done, learn to walk in His truth, and experience the freedom He has for every area of their lives.
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
— Galatians 5:1
OUR MESSAGE
You are not too far gone.
Your past is not too powerful.
Your struggle doesn't get the final word.
Your story isn't finished.
There is hope.
There is healing.
There is purpose.
There is freedom.
His name is Jesus.
