About us

We consider the Bible to be the foundation of our lives and our view of the world, a kind of textbook for life. It teaches us how to love others, how to forgive, what the priorities in life are... But even this knowledge is not enough.

We cannot change ourselves and suddenly become better people. We need God to enter in our lives and help us. But God waits for us; He does not force His way into our lives. The Bible says that whoever seeks Him will find Him, and He will reveal Himself to them. Even though we did not deserve it, God revealed Himself to us because we had a desire in our hearts and we sought Him. Seek and you will find! But if you are looking for a perfect church, then we have to disappoint you—we are not perfect.

Don't look for a perfect church, but for a perfect God. We would like our community to be not only ours, but above all His – that is, Christ's church. So that whenever we meet, He can be there with us.

The church is not about buildings, it is not about spiritual experiences, but it is an encounter with God. Together we form a temple where God wants to dwell. The church has not yet fulfilled its purpose – to mediate God to other people so that they can understand Him. We are not really interested in pushing anyone anywhere, but in finding what God intended for you and for me. That is what community is for, to help each other, support each other, and serve each other with the gifts we have. It is not about pulling someone away from another church, it is not about pushing someone to become a member of our community, it is much more important that we are like a family where we support and trust each other. Let us discover together what treasures the Lord Jesus has in store for us.
