TOMORROW IS A BAPTISM/FAMILY SERVICE! 🌊🔥👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Tomorrow is going to be such a special morning at Encounter Church as we gather together for both our Baptism Service AND Family Service at 10:30AM! 🙌

There is nothing more powerful than watching people publicly declare their faith in Jesus and celebrate NEW LIFE in Him. ❤️

We’ll be celebrating as 2 people take that incredible step of faith through baptism, alongside a fun, welcoming and powerful Family Service for all ages.

Expect worship, testimonies, celebration, laughter, church family and most importantly the presence of God. ✨

Whether you’ve been part of church for years, you’re exploring faith, or you’re simply looking for somewhere to belong — YOU are invited.

Come celebrate with us tomorrow at 10:30AM. We genuinely cannot wait to welcome you! ❤️

💧 BAPTISM SUNDAY IS FAST APPROACHING 💧

Baptism is more than a tradition.
More than a moment.
More than simply going into water.

It is:
✝️ a step of obedience
✝️ a willing response to the call of God
✝️ an outward expression of an inward transformation
✝️ a declaration of faith in Jesus Christ

A picture of grace.
A symbol of being made new through Christ.

“United with Him in death… raised to walk in new life.” ❤️

This Sunday we’ll be celebrating baptisms at Encounter Church and we genuinely believe these moments are powerful — not because of perfection, but because of surrender and response to Jesus.

If you’ve been following Jesus and feel God stirring your heart to take the next step in baptism, we would love to speak with you.

Don’t ignore the call.
Respond 🙌

WE ARE A CHURCH THAT
RESPONDS ❤️🔥

Not just with words. Not just with routine. Not just with
religion.

But with surrendered hearts.

There are moments in worship where something
shifts… where songs become prayers, where the room
begins responding to the presence of God, and worship
becomes completely spontaneous.

This was one of those moments 🙌

No performance. No striving. Just people hungry for
Jesus and responding to Him together.

We never want church to become something we simply
attend. We want to be people who respond when God
moves ✨

No life is too far gone.

Jesus still changes lives ✝️

For hope that never leaves us.

Gratitude does not ignore pain —
but it reminds us that God is still faithful through it all ✨

We can have microwave meals… quick, convenient, instant. But they’ll never have the same depth and flavour as something developed slowly in the pressure cooker. 👀🔥

Pastor Craig used this powerful illustration to show how God often grows patience and depth in us through process, not instant results.

Sometimes the Spirit is doing deeper work than we realise. 🙌
