One of our core values as a church is encounter. We believe in a God who is relational, who desires to meet with us and who comes close to us, and that when we meet him it changes us. We see time and time again through scripture that God interacts this way with His people. God reveals himself, and it calls out a response from us. In 2 Corinthians 3, we read about the freedom and identity we have because of the work of Jesus. This new life in Jesus means that we can come before God with expectation that we will meet with Him and be changed in his presence. Every, single, time.
