About us

Our foundation:

^{Jesus Christ}

Our church’s foundation can be Jesus Christ alone. He has set us free from our sins in dying on the cross substitutionally for us and taking the wrath of God upon Him. By the power of the Holy Spirit it is possible to become one with Him in suffering, death and resurrection. Jesus is the foundation for our actions and He brings about good fruit.

Basics

^{in discipleship}

Hereafter, four areas are explained. God has given them to us, so that we can live in a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ:

A. Scripture

The bible is the unfailing word of God. We find everything in it that we need for a God-fearing life in following Jesus Christ in this world. The word of God is our absolute benchmark and everything that we do or say must be in place with the truths in scripture. 

B. Prayer

We believe that prayer is an essential part of discipleship. As breathing is crucial for our natural life, prayer is for our spiritual life. In praying we nurse our love relationship with our creator and present to Him our dependency upon Him. 

C. Community

God has put us as brothers and sisters in community to be His body in this world. We need each other, because every person has received different talents and callings from God. As community we want to be family, reaching out to all generations and social levels. We want to encourage and exhort each other in our discipleship and represent the love of Christ. 

D. Worship

We are called to worship the triune God as He is revealed in scripture. He is the only One who is worthy of praise and worship. Thus, He is worthy of complete devotion with all our heart, our mind, our soul and all our might.

Growth
^{inside and outside}

Motivated by our relationship with Jesus Christ, we want to grow in the following four areas:

A. Evangelism

Jesus Christ has given us the assignment to go out and preach His gospel to a fallen world. Every member of our church shall do this in their personal life, e.g. at work, in their neighbourhood or family. In the same way, we want to do this together, in talking to people in public and tell them about our faith. 

B. Discipleship

We want to strengthen each other in our walk of faith and accompany each other in diverse processes, which help us, to be formed into the image of Christ – and to fulfill our individual God-given calling. This takes place in our services, but also in our home groups, twofold fellowship, teaching and pastoral meetings. 

C. Bless society

Jesus Christ told us that we as His disciples are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. We want to be this for our surrounding that we currently live in. We want to take an active part in all areas of our society: economy, politics, media, entertainment/arts, education, and family. A vivid relationship with God touches all fields of life.

D. Apostolic mission

We as Christians are positioned in a huge family. That is why we want to be connected to our brothers and sisters in Christ and support their ministries. On top of that we want to send out missionaries and equip people, to found new churches and/or ministries.
