Mark Shelton is the Cultural Architect & Lead Evangelist for Encounter, a movement/church whose call is to expand the body of Christ globally,reclaiming territory in areas and genre’s traditionally classified as secular: the arts, politics, social justice, entrepreneurship, and civic accountability, while edifying and equipping believers for leadership/ministry.
Operating in many of the gifts of the Spirit, Mark represents a convergence of theological streams, bringing together the Evangelical,Pentecostal,Charismatic, Apostolic, Prophetic, & mainline denominations with the Community Organizing/Human Rights activist movement.
With over 20 years in active Christian ministry and over a decade of human rights activism & cultural/theological innovation, his ministry transcends denominationalism and religion (as a noun) and is a catalytic wave of revival in Christ Jesus.
Transcending the superficial wall between the secular and the sacred, the
Lord is using Mark as a vehicle to minister the globe, connecting all
cultures to the “Christ Culture” (an euphemism for the body of Christ) and
sharing the love of Jesus ontologically and pragmatically. Authentically
Christian; Unapologetically Free.
