What is Scripture Encounter? It is an opportunity to encounter God in the Living Word and in each other.
Have you ever wanted to explore the Bible but felt overwhelmed or got stuck, not knowing where to begin?
Scripture Encounter offers a drop-in Saturday Series from 9:00 a.m. - 10:15 a.m. in-person and via Zoom.
We want to inspire you to explore the Bible and discover how the characters, events and lessons apply to your own life.
