join the dream team!
Encounter Church is built on the gifts and talents of many. Each week, an army of volunteers
(we call the Dream Team), serve in different areas and in different capacities -- all using their unique giftings.
We serve from an overflow of love for God and His people and with a passion to see people’s lives changed,
whether it's from a smile, a hug, a song, a Bible story, running the sound, or a much needed helping hand.
(And just so you know, worship is a priority at Encounter. We strive to schedule volunteers
only 1-2 times per month whenever possible.)
Check out the list of Dream Teams below. If you find your perfect spot, click here to get started.
