ENCOUNTER COMMUNI-CARE is our local community programs offering assistance to our Homeless community and working with our disadvantaged families and newly arrived refugees. We also assist local church plants.
Church Planting God's word teaches that church planting is evangelizing the lost, discipling believers and caring for people. ENCOUNTER is passionate about helping church plants in our local community based on Jesus' words in Matthew 18:18, "upon this rock, I will build my church" which affirms the vital place of the church in the plan of God.
ENCOUNTER has assisted the following local church plants: 2006 - Ethiopian Church - Melbourne, Australia 2010 - NewLife Myanmar Church - Melbourne, Australia 2013 - Imagine Church - Melbourne, Australia 2015 - Bethel Outreach Centre - Melbourne, Australia 2016 - Glory Centre International Church - Melbourne, Australia
Our vision is to see more church plants emerging through our local community.
