"whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and greater ones than these" (John 14:12)

Encounter Kansas City, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is a satellite campus of the Encounter School of Ministry. We seek to teach, equip, and activate followers of Jesus to demonstrate the Goodness of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. We are passionate about the Church taking hold of their truest identity as powerful sons and daughters of a Father that holds nothing back.

Today we're a three-year formation school forming adult students to be spirit-filled evangelizers. We're also launching a new hybrid campus in Seneca. We hold healing services open to anyone carrying pain. And we send mission teams as far as Belize and as close as a parking lot in Overland Park.

Sampling of Student Testimonies

"Life-giving. Transformative. A breakthrough year."

"I have grown so much in my relationship with God. I want that for everyone I know."

"The teachings are so good. Deepening the interpretation of Holy Scripture and our place in God's work has been transformative to say the least."

"I want everyone to experience this, especially those I'm close to who I see are growing closer with the Lord. I want them to have access to the growth in mission and identity that comes with hearing from and beginning to live in the Holy Spirit."

"I think every Christian should have this teaching, experience, understanding, knowledge, truth...equip and bring heaven to earth, to carry out the great commission."

"I feel like a whole new world is opening up to me that I didn't know was here. My belief is greater, my hope is unwavering. God is not passive but active."

"It has broken through strongholds in my life giving me freedom and joy. "

"I have a new freedom to live as God created me to be, a deeper compassion to share God’s love with those around me, especially strangers."

"It has been revolutionizing my life."

"I pray differently, I know more deeply the reality of the Lord, I witness to my students and my family more, I’ve prayed for/seen healing, and SO MUCH MORE."

"Opened my eyes to the beautiful immense power of the Holy Spirit in a new deeper and more thoughtful way."

"Helped me out of my comfort zone!"

"It's empowered me to live my faith in a new way, by being very proactive in reaching out to people with solutions to their spiritual, mental, emotional and physical struggles/problems."

"The Encounter School in KC has been transformative for my identity as a Son of God who can now boldly live out my roles as priest, prophet, and kind through several gifts of the Holy Spirit. I am confident to bring the mission of Jesus to heal mind, body, and soul to my parish, friends, and the wider community."

"It has allowed me to get to know people in other parishes who are also seeking out ways to bring others closer to God. It has renewed a boldness to help others know their God given identities and how much God loves them."

"This has changed the horizons of my spiritual life. It has informed a much higher horizon for the lay vocation."

"Forever grateful- saved my life; from my first initiation with a profound physical healing to the summer intensive that confirmed my calling to praising, connecting & serving alongside my classmates- it’s been an unbelievably blessed year."
