Our connections cafe opens at 8:00 AM for those who want to enjoy a social time and some excellent coffee before the service. First time visitors will receive a coupon for a free drink to use at the connections cafe coffee bar before or after the service.  Our greeters will be there to welcome you and answer any questions you may have about Encounter Church. Children from nursery through 5th grade can check in and go directly to their class at the beginning of service, and will remain in class through the entire service. Our Ushers will be happy to assist you and direct you upon your arrival.

Encounter Church offers a friendly atmosphere with contemporary worship music and an excellent, relevant message. The words to our worship music are on a large screen at the front of the sanctuary during our worship time and the main scripture references will be shown on the screen during the message. Children are encouraged in a loving, quality nursery and offered an enjoyable learning experience in our Encounter Park children’s service.

We understand that most individuals desire to be anonymous for a while and we are OK with that. We will warmly welcome you, however you will not be asked to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. We also realize everyone has individual ways of expressing their worship to God and we are fine with you participating at the level where you feel comfortable. We’d love to have you make this church your home, however we understand  that not every church is a good fit for every person. Our goal is to help you find a place where you feel you belong. So come, check us out, and if our church is not the right fit for you, we may be able to help you locate a church that meets your needs.

You will find everything from casual clothes to business attire at our services. Please wear what is comfortable for you. At Encounter Church we care about you, not your clothing choice.

Encounter Church is located at 300 Hideaway Drive, Quarryville, PA. Please use the map link to find exact directions.

At Encounter Church, your children are of the utmost importance. All of our staff and volunteers are required to have up-to-date background checks. We also use a child check-in system for added security. We offer child care for ages 18 months to 5 years and welcome you to get to know our loving, caring workers.

We are also happy for your little ones to stay with you during the service if that’s what you desire. In addition to child care, we also have a family room and a nursing mother’s room available. The family room has a live stream of the service, so if kids are getting restless, you can take them to this private area and not have to miss any of the worship or message.

For children in kindergarten through 5th grade, we offer a vibrant children’s ministry called Encounter Kids, located on the lower level of the church. We also offer a Young Warriors class for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade children during the message time on Sunday mornings. Our Youth Group for 7th through 12th grade young adults meets on Wednesday evenings.
