The Mission

As in the days of the primitive church, we believe that Christ has called us to come together as a body of believers to serve, encourage and strengthen our community. Our purpose is to lead each person to have a relationship with God and then help others to achieve it.

We are a family, in the same Spirit, with the same vision, sharing every moment together. Our doors are open for you. Come be a part of Encounter Church.

The Vision

Glorify God through our worship; assist people in spiritual development and, through instruction, equip them for ministry within the church and in the community; create unity within the church through fellowship; and equipping people to win others to Christ through evangelism.

Lead Pastors

Nuestros pastores vivieron un tiempo de avivamiento único en Argentina durante los años 90 en su iglesia Catedral de la Fe en la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Respondiendo al llamado del Espíritu Santo en sus vidas. En el 2001 fueron enviados como ministros a los Estados Unidos. Luego de haber servido como pastores asociados y de jóvenes por más de 10 años, Dios los llamó a plantar el ministerio latino en Church in the Gardens en el cual por 12 años sirvieron como pastores principales de la iglesia de habla en español desde el 2011.

Actualmente, Dios los llamó a expandir su vision plantando una nueva obra “Encounter Church” en español en la ciudad de Jupiter.
‍
Dios ha bendecido a nuestros pastores con 5 hijos, Nathan (24), Valentina (22), Agostina (19), Ella (14) y Nick (11) y una nuera Lindsay (24), los cuales están envueltos en el ministerio y de esta manera, sirven a Dios como familia. Desde su llamado a servir a Dios, hace más de 27 años, los Pastores Felizzola se han guiado por la voluntad de Dios, estableciendo una enseñanza Cristo-céntrica, llevando el mensaje de salvación y santidad instituido por medio de la palabra de Dios. Para ellos es muy imponte ayudar a las familias a crecer junto a Dios y a vivir una doctrina sana.
