What does it really mean to go ALL IN for Jesus?

Not just believing in Him.
Not just attending church.
But surrendering every part of our lives to the One who gave everything for us.

This October, we're beginning a brand new 7-week teaching series exploring what it looks like to truly follow Jesus with wholehearted faith.

📍 Week 1: LEAVE – Surrender
⚓ Week 2: REMAIN – Faithfulness
❤️ Week 3: TRUST – Heart
⛰️ Week 4: RISK – Courage
🌊 Week 5: POUR OUT – Worship
🏁 Week 6: FINISH – Perseverance
👑 Week 7: The One Who Went ALL IN – Jesus

Whether you've walked with Jesus for years, have questions about faith, or are simply looking for hope and purpose, we'd love to welcome you.

🗓️ Starts Sunday 11th October

"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
1 Corinthians 10:31

💬 Tag someone you'd love to journey through this series with, and let us know in the comments: What does "ALL IN" mean to you?

✨ TONIGHT | Worship Night | 7:30PM ✨

"Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." — Galatians 5:16

Following Jesus was never meant to be something we do in our own strength.

We all face battles. We all carry burdens. We all have moments where we feel weak. But God doesn't leave us to figure it out alone—He gives us His Spirit to strengthen us, guide us, and transform us day by day.

Tonight isn't about putting on a mask or pretending you've got it all together.

It's about coming as you are.

Come with your questions.
Come with your struggles.
Come with your joy.
Come with your worship.

At Encounter, we believe that when we gather with open hearts, we make space to seek God's presence together. Through worship, prayer, honesty, and surrender, we draw near to the One who first drew near to us.

Whether you've walked with Jesus for years, you've drifted away, or you've never stepped foot inside a church before...

Our doors are open.
You are welcome.
You are loved.

Come and seek the God who is still moving, still speaking, and still changing lives today.

🕢 Tonight | 7:30 PM
📍 Encounter Church, Ilfracombe

Bring a friend. Bring your family. Or simply bring yourself.

We can't wait to worship with you. ❤️

🔥 YOUTH IS GROWING... AND THERE'S A PLACE FOR YOU! 🔥

It's incredible to see what God is doing through our Youth Group at Encounter Church. 💙

New ideas are becoming reality, friendships are growing stronger, and we're seeing young people discover who they are in Christ. This isn't just about another weekly meeting—it's about creating a place where you can belong, ask questions, have fun, be encouraged, and grow in your faith alongside others your age.

Whether you've been to church your whole life or you've never stepped through the doors before, there's always a space for you. You don't have to have everything figured out. Just come as you are.

We believe every young person has purpose, value, and something unique to bring. We'd love to welcome you into our growing community.

💬 Want to find out more?
Send us a direct message, or come and speak to one of our Leadership Team after Sunday's service. We'd love to chat and answer any questions you have.

We can't wait to meet you! ❤️

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 one is beyond His grace.
No story is too broken.
No life is too far gone.

Jesus still changes lives ✝️

Today we are praying for:
✨ Salvation
✨ Freedom
✨ Restoration
✨ Fresh starts
✨ Hope
✨ New life in Christ

As a church, our greatest prayer is that people would truly encounter the love, peace, and transforming power of Jesus.

For provision.
For answered prayers.
For strength to keep going.
For grace in hard seasons.
For hope that never leaves us.

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

Today we are praying hearts would be filled with:
✨ Thankfulness
✨ Joy
✨ Peace
✨ Perspective
✨ Hope
