St. Ann’s Adult Faith Ministry
Encounter nurtures lifelong spiritual growth by deepening knowledge and personal faith. Through prayer, Scripture study, reflection, small group discussion, social time, speakers, and community events, we invite adults of all stages of life to learn, connect, and grow as missionary disciples, sharing God’s reconciling love with the world.
We welcome you and hope you will find a home at an Encounter event.
