What are Encounter Teams?
Our heart is for Encounter Teams to be places of deep spiritual formation. From preparing and praying together as a team, to learning from and serving others together, to wrestling through the implications of what you have learned on your life back home, our hope is that Encounter Teams provide opportunities for formative community and true pursuit of life with Jesus.

Partner with Avery County Habitat for Humanity in order to provide permanent housing for Avery County residents.
