Encounter
Meet. Learn. Grow. Belong.
Clarkston · Georgia · Everyone is welcome
ENCOUNTER: CLARKSTON is a community ministry that connects the children, youth, adults, and families of Clarkston with learning opportunities, practical help, warm relationships, and hope.
From English and math to homework help, music and art, college planning, jobs and careers, settling into life in the U.S., mentoring, Bible study, and church connection — we listen for what each person needs and help find it.
We don’t see people as cases to be served. We welcome everyone as a neighbor worthy of respect, and as a member of a community that learns and grows together.
Four values we hold close
Neighbors from every corner of the world sharing one table.
Real relationships that last beyond one week or one season.
We share language, culture, and skills with curiosity and respect.
We share the hope of the gospel gently and live it out through care.
