Creating Inclusive Christian Communities
If Not You, Who?
A Distinct Identity
Here at Encounter Missions International, we see an inclusive Christian world. One where all are invited to taste and see that the Lord is good. Since 2000, we have made it our mission to create inclusive Christian communities where the unchurched, the de-churched, and the curious are invited to explore, experience, and express God's love. We make it a point to empower local leadership, build cross-cultural friendships, and make a positive impact within our local communities. Are you ready to join us and create real transformation in the lives of so many? If not you, then who?

Why We Do What We Do
People Deserve the Chance to Choose
"And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?"
Romans 10:14
The Problem
Too many people in the world today feel shunned and shamed by their churches. Unfortunately for too many, the Christian message has been a loud and clear rejection of who they are. So the problem is this, how can LGBTQ+ people experience God's love?
The Solution
If not you, who? The solution is to mobilize you for local and global service. Our goal is to provide churches both local and global where everyone has the opportunity to explore, experience, and express God's love. Church, is God's chosen vehicle to make love real.
The Effect
The effect of these negative messages directed towards LGBTQ+ people can have devastating results such as agonizing isolation, low self-esteem, and a loss of their God-given dreams. So, if we don't care, who will?
