ALL GLORY TO GOD!

26 Years of Faithfulness. 26 Years of God's Goodness. 26 Years of Lives Being Transformed!

Today, we celebrate 26 incredible years of Encounter Church! What a testimony of God's faithfulness, His sustaining grace, and His unwavering commitment to the vision He established in this house.

Through every season, every challenge, every victory, and every life transformed, one truth remains: TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!

We are especially grateful for our Senior Pastor and Bishop, Gary Oliver, whose faithful obedience, unwavering commitment to God's Word, and surrendered heart have helped establish and sustain this ministry for 26 years.

Bishop, thank you for saying YES to God's calling, for standing firm in faith, for shepherding His people, and for continually pointing us back to Jesus Christ. Your obedience has impacted countless lives, strengthened families, and helped create a place where generations can encounter the transforming presence and power of God.

“Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it.” — Psalm 127:1 (NKJV)

We recognize that everything accomplished through Encounter Church has been made possible by the Lord. He is the One who called, equipped, provided, sustained, and brought the increase!

As we celebrate 26 years, we also look forward with great expectation. We believe the best is yet to come, not because of what we can accomplish in our own strength, but because of the faithfulness of the God we serve!

“This is the LORD's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.” — Psalm 118:23 (NKJV)

To every member, leader, volunteer, family, and friend who has been part of this journey, thank you for your prayers, service, generosity, and faithfulness. You are part of what God is building through this ministry.

Happy 26th Anniversary, Encounter Church!

May we continue to be a church that is:

WORD ACTIVATED.
LOVE MOTIVATED.
PRAISE SATURATED.
PEOPLE LIBERATED.

26 YEARS STRONG — AND ALL GLORY BELONGS TO GOD!

With grateful hearts, we honor the past, celebrate God's goodness today, and move forward in faith toward all He has prepared for the future.

Thank You, Lord, for 26 years! And thank you, Bishop Gary Oliver, for your faithful obedience!
