ENCOUNTER CREATIVE CO. is a non-profit worship arts ministry based in Franklin, Tennessee with a heart to help people encounter the love of Jesus through thoughtfully curated contemplative music and art experiences.

One of the primary ways we do this is through immersive “Listening Worship” sessions called SANCTUAIRE (French for “sanctuary”).

Featuring cinematic soundscapes, original songs, gentle worship and thoughtful prompts, these sessions provide a sacred space to pause, exhale and sense Jesus’ presence WITH you in the midst of whatever you’re navigating right now.

CONSTANCE & A.J. RHODES

We first launched these experiences in our living room during COVID, and have had the privilege of serving groups of varying sizes in a variety of settings since then.

Whether ministering to a few in our home or to many at a church or other venue, we view music as a sacred gift from God that can soothe hurting hearts and create space for contemplation, prayer, gratitude and healing.

We are also deeply passionate about helping develop community and mentoring for creatives that provides a safe place to learn, grow, and flourish in their calling.

If you would like to connect with us, whether to be notified about upcoming events, to connect with fellow-creatives, or to bring our ministry to your church or organization, please fill out the form below.

We look forward to connecting soon!
