Andy and Amy Painter and a great team of volunteers oversee the Children’s Ministry here at Encounter Church. The Children’s Ministry consists of Creation Place (Infants – 36 months), Celebration Station (3-year-olds – K5), and E-Kids (Grades 1-5).

Trained leaders and caregivers staff each of our environments for children. They have been carefully screened and are dedicated to providing children with a fun, safe place. The Word of God is presented to children on their age level in a fun, active way that kids love.

Andy and Amy Painter are the Children’s Pastors at Encounter Church; they oversee all ministries and activities for our children from birth through sixth grade. They started serving together as a team in children’s ministry while engaged. They were married in May of 2009. They have three children of their own, two of whom are still in the household being homeschooled. Andy and Amy are both International School of Ministry graduates with an associate’s degree in Biblical Studies. Along with a fantastic team of volunteers, they strive to educate our children in biblical truths and lead them into a devoted, loving relationship with Jesus Christ.
