Encounter School of Mission (ESOM) is part of Causeway Coast Vineyard church based on the north coast of Northern Ireland.

Our journey as a church began in May 1999 with a group of six people who tenaciously guarded the dream that it is possible to live differently in order to make a difference. To this day, we continue to be a community who carry hope and are passionately pursuing God’s heart for His city through our ordinary everyday lives.

We are a church where lives are changing.  A place where people are saying ‘yes’ to God and experiencing life in a fresh way.  We are a people who bring life to every area in our community.  A place where we see transformation happen as we pursue the dreams that God has placed in our hearts.

ESOM was birthed out of our desire to do just that. ESOM’s mission is to raise up followers of Jesus and equip them in understanding their identity, their kingdom authority, and their calling. As children of God, we refuse to reduce faith to what is manageable, live beyond what is comfortable and reach for the impossible. As leaders and kingdom carriers, we bring life to every corner of culture, one encounter at a time.
