PASTORS AND LEADERS

OUR SENIOR PASTORS

ZACK & RACHELLE WECHSLER

Zack and his wife Rachelle followed the call of God upon their lives and founded Encounter Church Las Vegas in 2009 in a small coffee house. The church experienced much growth as hundreds gathered each week to experience the manifest presence of God and hear His Word. Prostitutes, pimps, drug dealers, the religious, and prodigals turned their lives to Jesus. In 2020 Zack and Rachelle accepted the call to Pastor New Hope Community Church (now known as Encounter Church in Rochester, NY).
