Netherlands church develops new direction, expands to 3 locations

Netherlands church develops new direction, expands to 3 locations

by | 12 May 2016

The Church of the Nazarene in Amersfoort, Netherlands, has responded creatively to the good “problem” of growing too large for its original church meeting place: Last September, the congregation established two additional locations in other parts of the city.

In Trinitarian language, the church is now three-in-one.

Founded nearly 25 years ago, the church had reached a membership of about 300. The high school theater where they met had seats for just 150, so they moved to two services. But it still felt crowded, with little space for newcomers.

“People felt lost in their own church,” says Pastor Karel Muller.
