Founder & Prelate
APOSTLE RASHIDA INEZ

Apostle Dr. Rashida Inez is a woman of prayer called and sanctified by God. She received the salvation and water baptism of the Lord at the early age of 7 years old. I'm the following years, she received the baptism of the Holy Ghost and accepted her total calling into the ministry of the Lord's Church. Although the Woman of God is a resident of Georgia, she serves under the direct headship of her dad in the gospel, Apostle Jon-Michael McKinney.

Dr. Rashida Inez is not only a Prophetic-Evangelist but also a Missionary. She has preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the United States of America as well as Europe to include the countries of Germany, Pakistan, and Austria. Apostle Inez has birthed, established and organized Rashida Inez Ministries (RIM). Which is a ministry of total deliverance and permanent healing. However, she often says, "Although I birthed this ministry God is the Founder, Jesus Christ is the CEO, the Holy Spirit is the President and I'm just the Vice President! I can't I can't make a move without the approval of all three."

Apostle Rashida Inez has become an eyewitness of miraculous healing and deliverance of the sick, deaf, addicts and paraplegics. She has witnessed individuals being set free from demonic oppression and receiving the Baptism of the Holy Ghost.

She has a degree in Criminal Justice, a fervent intercessory prayer ministry, an evangelistic training ministry and mentorship programs for young ladies, adults and women in ministry. She also partakes in "street" evangelism and hospital ministry.

While she remains consistent in her ministerial assignments her most precious assignment is being the mother to two sons, Jeremie Jr and Joel. She often says, "Home is my first ministry." Apostle Rashida Inez also has 5 younger sisters whom she loves dearly. Although, her youth is well preserved she has a host of spiritual sons and daughters. One of her many foundational scriptures is 2 Timothy 4:5, "But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an Evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry."

​

The vision for Jesus Encounter Church was birthed out of prayer and a passion to see people transformed by God’s love. While serving in ministry and walking out the calling, Apostle Inez began to notice a need for a diverse, safe, Spirit-filled church that would embrace people from every walk of life—straight, LGBTQ+, young, old, churched, and unchurched alike.

​

With that burden came a God-given dream: to plant Jesus Encounter Church, a house where love is the foundation, Jesus is at the center, the Spirit is free to move, and we preach nothing but BIBLE!

​

On July 12 2019, Jesus Encounter Church opened its doors in Phenix City, Alabama stepping into that vision and welcoming the community to join in what God is doing.

​

Jesus Encounter Church exists to be more than a service—it is a family, a movement, and a call.
