OUR CHURCH
Encounter Church defines success through the ‘one another’ passages in scripture. Jesus said to his disciples, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples.” More than forty additional ‘one another’ passages appear in the Bible; forgive one another, bear one another, serve one another, care for one another, encourage one another, and pray for one another. When we do these things well, we serve as instruments of Christ to meet the need of the human heart, the greatest of which is to know Jesus, who taught us to love. We invite you to partake of ‘one another’ moments at Encounter Church.
- Pastor Wayne Beaver
MEET OUR PASTOR
Pastor Wayne & Jackie Beaver
For most of his career, Pastor Wayne was a biblical studies teacher and administrator at Cincinnati Christian School. He spent nearly 40 years working with teens and parents. For six years of that time, he also served as pastor of Living Faith Assembly in nearby Oxford, Ohio.
In addition to the hundreds of unnamed tasks of a pastor’s wife, Jackie organizes our worship music for Sunday mornings. Jackie has a rich background in vocal music performance and choral direction.
So, what does a campus pastor do? In our case, basically what any local pastor does- preach, counsel, pray, and offer a helping hand where needed. Come meet the pastor and the friendly members of our congregation. We would be glad for you to join us in worship.
