Encounter Youth

Encounter is our High School Ministry here at New Life Community Church, serving students in 9 through 12 grades. Encounter shatters the stereotype that church is boring! Our Wednesday services are created to celebrate life in a way that is fun for believers and welcoming to those who don't normally attend church.

Drop-off time begins at 6:30 pm with fun activities like: air hockey, basketball or just hanging out.  We also have a “snack shack” where you can get munchies and drinks for under a buck.   Our services go from 7:00-8:30 and are fun with high energy worship, relevant teaching that every high school student can apply to their lives.  Bring your Bible and some friends!

Parents, we want to partner with you in encouraging, teaching, and maturing your child into the likeness of Christ.  Please let us know if we can serve you in any way.

We offer an experience that allows students to worship God in a way that makes it easy for them to invite their friends and have a lot of fun!

We would love for you to join us! Please contact for more information:
