I'm New

Our services are typically 1.5 hours long.  We start with songs, leading into prayer moments followed by a message from one of our team. After the service, people hang around if they can, for a bite to eat, a coffee and a chat if desired.

You’ll be greeted with a warm welcome from our team and assist you in finding a seat. After the service, you will be welcomed back to our reserved tables where we would like to gift you lunch and coffee and we would love to use this time to get to know you and answer any questions you may have.

All of our locations have either a car park or available off-street parking. Don’t worry, there’ll definitely be a space for you.

Absolutely not, we believe in what we do, we are generous, but have ZERO expectations, and definitely don’t want you to feel any pressure. When we share our time of giving, this is an opportunity to be a part of the generosity of our church and the impact it has on others' lives.

Come as you are! When visiting Encounter come dressed however you feel comfortable.

We are a passionate multi-generational church that’s not afraid to get to the heart of the matter. We’re real people, doing real life, being transformed by Jesus.

Gawler eKids have 3 programs (preschoolers, lower primary and upper primary) where Jesus is taught in a fun and interactive way. These programs happen simultaneous to our Sunday 10am service.
