NEW POST LOCATIONS

Interested in a new Post location in your area?



Encounter Ministry Post
is an incredible way to be plugged into the ministry
and be encouraged in your walk with God!


If a Post location is not near you, Zoom Post is a wonderful way to be connected!

But, if you are interested in opening a Post in your town, here are some things to know:


who can be a post leader?


Post leaders need to have served at least one time before becoming a Post Leader. Additionally, Post Leaders are expected to be active in attending Encounter Ministry weekend events. (Post leaders typically serve at more EM events than they miss.)

how many post leaders are at each location?

We encourage at least 2 men and 2 women so each has a partner and someone to come alongside them.
 

When are post nights?

Monday, Tuesdays, and Thusdays are the nights available to hold Post.

Can Post be held every other week, or even monthly?

No. Post is held every week
(except for special circumstances such as, Christmas/Thanksgiving/VBS, etc.) It can be confusing for people to know which weeks you are meeting if it isn’t an every week meeting.

Where can post be held?


Typically, Post’s are held in a church, but ultimately it needs to be in a location that can provide a few things including:
(1) a room that would hold the whole group (men/women/teens) to have
praise and worship together.
(2) A location that allows you to run media/sound equipment
(3) rooms that are available for multiple small groups to hold class.
(4) at least two spaces for childcare (nursery/elementary.)

*Post locations are not held in people's homes.


is  there a training to be a post leader?

Yes! An online class through Zoom is offered in the spring and fall and is required to go through. Additionally, there is a Post Leader annual training that is in person at Encounter Cove. This is typically the first Saturday of December each year. This meeting is mandatory to attend in person.





All of this sounds great!

I’m in!
