OUR PILLARS
Evangelization
URBAN ENCOUNTER SEEKS TO PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL BOLDLY, BELIEVING IN ITS POWER TO BRING PEOPLE TO SALVATION. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH OUTREACH AND CHRISTIAN/CATHOLIC INITIATIVES THAT INCLUDE STREET EVANGELIZATION, FAITH FORMATION, NEIGHBORHOOD SOCIAL EVENTS, DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING AND EQUIPPING.
Revitalization
URBAN ENCOUNTER ATTRACTS PEOPLE OF FAITH TO LIVE, THRIVE AND MAKE AN IMPACT IN THE HILLTOP. OUR GOAL IS TO STEWARD THE PROPERTY IN WHICH OUR MISSIONARIES LIVE. OUR MISSIONARIES ARE GIVEN OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN SKILLS OF BASIC HOUSING MAINTENANCE WHICH EMPOWER THEM TO MAKE AN IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND THEM. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS PHILOSOPHY OF STEWARDSHIP WILL INSPIRE OTHERS AS THEY SEE A TANGIBLE EXAMPLE OF FAITH IN ACTION.
Community
URBAN ENCOUNTER SEEKS TO SUPPORT OUR MISSIONARIES' FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE A UNIFIED BODY OF CHRISTIAN AND CATHOLIC BELIEVERS THROUGH WORK, PRAYER, AND SACRAMENTS. THIS FAITH-FILLED COMMUNITY SERVES THE HILLTOP WITH GOOD WORKS AND CHARITABLE ACTS OF LOVE AND GENEROSITY.
Worship
WE WORSHIP TO DO THREE THINGS:
- GIVE THANKS
- TO HUMBLY ASK GOD TO MOVE
- TO DECLARE THAT WE WILL DO SOMETHING FOR HIM.
THE ORIGINAL SONGS FROM URBAN ENCOUNTER WORSHIP ARE DEVELOPED THROUGH GOD'S WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING, AND KNOWLEDGE AND ARE THE CATALYST FOR SOULS TO RETURN BACK TO THE HEART OF JESUS.
