God of Mercy
Led by Tyler Haitz
Encounter Church • Vineland, NJ
Encounter Sound
Original worship rising from Encounter Church — written, recorded, and sung to let His name be heard far and wide. New music is on its way.
The Band
A worship team that grew from a single prayer in an empty sanctuary.
Encounter Sound is the worship band of Encounter Church (formerly Chestnut Assembly of God) in Vineland, NJ. Together in its current form since 2024, the band keeps growing — new voices and musicians joining every year.
It began with a vision Pastor Tony shared back in 2020: that the worship of this house would be released to the world. Years of faith, investment, and unexpected provision later, that vision is becoming a sound.
Our Mission
"To release the worship within our house to the world — to glorify His name above all names, and let the sound be heard far and wide."
