2026 sponsorship Opportunities

Help us celebrate 10 years of EncounteredHeart! 

 
 

Since 2016, EncounteredHeart has shared the love of Christ through the art of dance through arts programming, youth mentorship, and missional partnerships. In 2025-2026, we are celebrating how the Lord has faithfully moved in our Central Pennsylvania community through new performances and partnerships.


This past fall, our sponsors generously supported us and we doubled our goal amount for November’s Worship Night! We had over 200 audience members attend and worship together.

Will you help support EncounteredHeart through a sponsorship in 2026?

On May 1-2, we will host our spring performance, Meeting Place, as we explore the significant encounters Biblical figures in the Old & New Testaments had with the Lord, such as God's promises to Abraham, David’s journey, and Jesus healing the sick. Through original movement and spoken word, we’ll meditate on the Lord’s daily presence now and always through prayer, scripture, community, and testimonies.

EncounteredHeart has the exciting opportunity to perform in Messiah University’s Poorman Black Box Theater, which offers an intimate performance venue with high-tech lighting and sound technology. The new space will provide a greater immersive experience for audiences and enhance our storytelling capabilities.

Our goal is to raise $3,000 to prepare and present our 2026 spring performance.
