Encounter

Second Sunday each month at 4pm

Encounter Poster

Are you curious about faith and spirituality?

We’re creating a space where anyone can encounter the God that loves them ❤

God wants to be right here with us, turning lives around and healing our deepest hurts.

Encounter is a new kind of meet-up based on the ancient way of Jesus, where you can come as you are, and try new things, in a safe space.

Here’s the plan

  • Coffee, tea, and biscuits start at 4pm
  • Fun and relaxed atmosphere
  • Songs
  • Reading, annotating, and writing on Bible verses with our own thoughts
  • Watching a Jesus video from The Chosen
  • A short, interesting explainer on what we’ve seen and read
  • Q&A and discussions

It’s an hour long and we finish around 5pm.

Dates

It’s on the Second Sunday each month at 4pm:

  • 11th of January 2026
  • 8th of February
  • 8th of March

(On the 14th of December 2025, we have Carols by Candlelight instead 🎵)

Practical Stuff

Everyone is welcome. Kids under 11 need to be accompanied by an adult. Young People of 11-16 just need parental consent. We would love to see you there, no matter who you are.

There’s space for families and kids to be present and to take part.

If you have things going on, or need to pop out for a phone call or even a smoke - you can do that. Drop in and out as needed.

What do I need?

Nothing! Come as you are. Don’t wear your Sunday best, don’t bring a thing - just come and enjoy church together.
