Our aim is to reach out with the full Gospel of Jesus Christ and to teach salvation, healing and provision through His finished work on the cross, which is received through faith alone in Jesus and by His grace. We are fully committed to training everyone who has a passion to learn and operate in the gifts and talents God has given them. When you visit our church you will receive a warm welcome and we will be delighted to see you.

Sunday Meetings
Every month we are blessed by being able to bring in special guest speakers and Bible teachers from around the world.
Meetings at Encounter Church are all about clear Bible teaching with practical and Biblical answers to real life situations.
Gospel presentations with opportunities for people to receive Jesus as their personal saviour are always made and we encourage people to respond to altar calls and renewals.
We are passionate about encountering all that God has for us so we set aside time in our services for healing the sick and if led by God
we may speak words of prophecy and encouragement. We invite you to come and bring others in need to our services, so we can pray with you to receive your healing from God.
Family worship and devotion is really important to us so we spend at least thirty minutes during a service worshipping God and expecting an encounter with Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Communion and remembering what God has done with the symbols of His body and shed blood is very important part of the Christian life, so we often have a time for breaking of bread and drinking of grape juice, please feel free to participate if you know Jesus Christ as your personal saviour.
Our meetings are friendly and relaxed, but charged with anticipation and excitement about what God will do next.
And you are invited to join with us each week either at our main Sunday meeting or at our Wednesday small groups & home goup events!

We are a non denominational, independent evangelical church and a part of Encounter Network & Encounter TV, founded by our Pastor.
Rev. Phillip Hand is our Pastor and together with our wonderful supporting team planted Encounter Church in 2015, right in the heart of Crewe, Cheshire, England.
Encounter Church came from an original ministry called Vision House Ministries which was originally founded by Phillip back in 1994.
In early 2018 Encounter Television was launched and can now be viewed around the world via the internet and on cable TV including Roku.
2018 was also the year that the Encounter Network of church plants was established.
