EC Youth is the student ministry of Encounter Church, designed for middle and high school students to grow in their faith, build lasting friendships, and discover their purpose in Jesus. We believe that young people aren’t just the future of the church—they’re a vital part of the church right now. At EC Youth, students experience real conversations and biblical teaching that meets them where they are.

Every week, our youth gather in a fun environment where they are encouraged, challenged, and equipped to live boldly for Christ. Whether it’s through small groups, special events, camps, or just hanging out, EC Youth is a place where teens can belong, be known, and be transformed by the love of God. We’re all about raising up a generation that’s passionate about Jesus and ready to make a difference in their schools, homes, and communities.

The EC Youth Band is more than just a group of talented students—it’s a team of passionate worshipers leading their generation into the presence of God. From vocals to instruments, students are trained, mentored, and empowered to use their gifts to glorify Jesus and create a worship environment that’s authentic, energetic, and Spirit-led. Being part of the band is about more than music—it’s about developing a heart for worship, growing in character, and serving as leaders both on and off the stage. The band practices every Wednesday night at 7:00 PM in the Encounter Sanctuary, and it’s open to students who are ready to grow in their musical abilities and their walk with Christ.
