What is Encountering Ministries?
Encountering Ministries (EM) is an interactive community that explores the challenging questions of the Christian faith with the hope of encountering God at a deeper level. We offer:
​
-
Graduate level theological education accessible to all levels and learners looking to grow in understanding.
-
An online community designed to learn and interact with each other, creating a network of churches, leaders, teens and young adults, and people of all ages.
-
Faith based life coaching.
-
Podcasts designed to address the more controversial aspects of the Christian faith
-
Lectures and discussions on common misunderstandings people have about the Christian faith.
​
We are a ministry designed to help you wrestle through your faith in Christ, while becoming increasingly aware of the challenges we face in communicating the gospel in a global world. It is not enough to simply know what you believe, we must also ask the question, “Why do you believe what you believe?” At EM, you have a place to work that through as we seek the higher calling of truth and beauty together!
At Encountering Ministries, we value:
​​
-
Dialogue, discussion, and the ability to wrestle through our statements of faith, assumptions, and presumptions of truth.
-
Practical theology that leads to a deeper longing for interaction and encounter with God.
-
The ability to communicate the gospel in a way that reaches the modern world and knows how to speak the truth of the gospel into other cultures and beliefs.
-
The pursuit and desire of growing in the divine tension of both wisdom and mystery.
What we envision:
A community of faith that is able to grow together in our understanding of Christ, communicate the gospel in a way that is effective and accessible to the world around us, and find ways to connect in worship and word to like-minded people throughout the world.
Our hope going forward:
To see people equipped, empowered, and confident in their faith, while joining alongside others as we discover the deeper meaning of what it means to be the Church of Jesus Christ!
