A Relationship with God Is the Foundation

It Begins with a Relationship with God, Not Rules

Christianity is first and foremost about a relationship with God. At its heart are not rules, standards, or outward behaviour, but a relationship with the one God who created the world, who is not distant from it and who cares about it — and about us. He has shown this in His Son, Jesus Christ, as the Bible tells us. A relationship with God then also leads to new relationships with the people around us, to care for them, and to a life with direction.

The Problem of Sin

Sin Damages Our Relationship with God and with People

We believe that humanity has turned away from God, and in doing so has damaged our relationship with Him and with other people. This estrangement from God and brokenness in human relationships is what we call sin. Sin is not only doing wrong things; it is a deeper problem of the heart that damages our relationships and separates us from God.

The Answer in Jesus Christ

Restoration Comes Through Jesus

We believe that the only way our relationship with God can be restored is not through our own deeds or by being good enough. It is only through faith in Jesus Christ, who reconciled us to God through His death on the cross and His resurrection, and so restored our relationship with Him.

What Is the Church?

The Church Is a Community of People, Not an Institution

We believe that the church is a community of people whose relationship with God has been restored. Our calling is to build loving relationships with one another — and also with people who are still searching for that restored relationship with God.

Future and Hope

Jesus Will Return and Bring Justice

We believe that one day Jesus will return to put an end to sin and suffering once and for all, and to judge humanity.

Heaven and Hell

Our Decision Has Eternal Consequences

We believe in the reality of heaven and hell: heaven means eternal life in relationship with God, and hell means eternal separation from God. Each person decides, even here on earth, whether to believe or not — and that decision determines where they will be after death: with God or without Him.

The Mission of the Church

We Want to Point People Towards God

We believe that God longs for a relationship with every person and does not desire their condemnation. That is why He sends us, His church, to show others how their relationship with Him can be restored — and how, through faith in Jesus Christ, their relationships with other people can also be renewed.

EVERY SUNDAY. REAL PEOPLE. OPEN DOORS.

What It Looks Like Here

We are ordinary people seeking God together. We sing, pray, and reflect on the message of the Bible. After the service, we like to stay for good coffee and conversation. You can simply come and have a look, and get to know what our church is like at your own pace.

WHO WE ARE

Our Story

Our church is part of a story that began back in the 19th century. We have been active in Pilsen since 1888, and since 1903 we have been meeting on Doudlevecká Street.
