We’re aware that our blog page is very out of date…… as usual it’s been really busy at Encounter and we’re sorry that we have neglected to keep these up to date. One of the things we have just started to do though is to record some of our Sunday or Event talks and will […]
Unfortunately we’ve been having a problem with recording our Sunday Talks. We’re working hard to get this sorted. Our current series is based on 1 Thessalonians called ‘Survive or Thrive’ and if you would like a copy of these notes then please let us know and we’ll send them out to you. We are asking the […]

In March we were delighted to host Patrick Regan and his team for the “When Faith Gets Shaken Tour” at Encounter Church.

It’s Encounter’s 3rd birthday this month and we will be celebrating over the weekend of 10/11th September. On Saturday evening we will meet for some food together and then a screening of The War Room, a great film which has been a box office hit in America and teaches all about the difference prayer can […]
