This is my second time at encounter church and I love it so much! Pastor Chris & Tracy are so welcoming and loving. The 2 services have been absolutely amazing that I have been to and I felt so connected with God! If you’re looking for a come as you are and a friendly, fun, exciting church this is definitely the place to come.

I stumbled upon this Church by accident while scouting for a new Church, it has been one of the worst experiences I had with a "Church": the Pastor didn't even bother to read or cite Scripture, he focused on emotional messages that have little to do with The Holy Bible. After dropping the kiddos at their child care, I felt a weird feeling about it, my gut instict told be to go back and get them out before service was over, they had more men than women watching kids, I thought it was a big red flag.

I love my church, Chris, and Tracy are great pastors. We have a really good praise and worship team. 1 church with 3 locations. The main campus is in Fate, Quinlan is our 2nd campus with Pastors Chris and Crystal Negron, and our 3 campus will be in Dyke/Sulphur springs andim sorry but I don't know who those pastors are. We also help plant churches. The last one was in Paris France. How great is God? Come join us at one of the locations mentioned because one encounter with God can change everything. Let us love on you some.

I love my church family! From the moment I walked in a few years ago I have felt nothing but love. I love that the Holy Spirit moves here and the Word is taught.

We had an encounter with the Lord here and it was amazing. On our anniversary, my fiance got baptized. Since then, we have seen lives forever changed. This is definitely a church to witness miracles and the power of our Lord Jesus Christ at hand in and through his people! 😁 …

I have visited a couple of times with my son and his family, who are members. I really enjoy the Pastor's sermons, the music and strong sense of community. Everyone is very welcoming. I enjoy when I get to visit and leave feeling very connected to God.

My family and myself have attended for about a month. We have enjoyed being in a church that the pastor follow’s the moving of the spirit, instead of the clock. So many churches have timed God out of the service. The praise service is top notch. The is a breath of fresh air in this church. I urge you to give it a try.

Michelle, the JBQ (Junior Bible quiz) coach is amazing! Definitely worth the 30-min drive every week. You can tell she really loves kids, she's good with kids!

Once you come to this church, you won’t have to look any further for a home church. From the smiling faces you meet as soon as you walk through the doors, to the amazing worship, to the preaching of the word from Pastor Chris Binion (you’ll laugh, cry, become changed, and will be challenged by these messages), to the relationships you build there, this is a movement of God you want to become a part of. This church lives and breathes “Loving God, loving people, and serving our world.” My family and I are more than blessed to call this church our home church.
