Encounter // God. Life. Community.

Encounter exists to help college students, or those 18-24 years old, follow Jesus in all of life. We believe the Gospel changes everything and that Jesus is worth everything. College is a time when young people are trying to find out who they are and want to be, what they love and what to do, and where they want to go in life. Ultimately, those questions and all the other questions young people wrestle with are answered in the person of Jesus Christ and what He did for us in His life, death, and resurrection.

  • Schedule

    During the school year we gather on Thursday nights at 6:30pm at New Creation Church.

    We have other prayer groups, small groups and mentorship opportunities available as well.

  • Small Groups

    Real Talk groups are at the core of how we make disciples. By creating a context for friendships to form and grow students get to go deeper in their faith together through sharing a meal, studying the Bible, and praying for one another’s needs. We have Real Talk groups for both guys and girls during the semester. Check out our Social Media for specific dates and times.

  • Meet the Directors

    Encounter is led by Burabari & Ali Kordah and Anthony Passante. Ali and Anthony have been involved with Encounter since it began in 2009 on the MSU campus and all three have a passion and desire to see students encounter Jesus.
