About Us
We are a warm and welcoming Christian community in Kraków. Although we are a Polish church, we embrace people from all nations and backgrounds who call this city home.
​​
Recognising the complex history of Christianity in Poland, we aspire to be a prophetic voice in Kraków that bases its identity not on culture, but on the truths of Scripture.​ As a prophetic voice in a spiritual wilderness, we affirm the good but challenge the fallen in our culture through the Word of God.
​​
Through preaching and teaching, we prepare our members to live the gospel through compassionate service, faithful witness, and generous hospitality. Our desire is to be a grace-filled church that radiates the love of Jesus in our city and beyond.
Our values
A church for Kraków
• We strive to be a church that fits the culture of Krakow today and reaches out to the Poles and people from all backgrounds. • We recognise and celebrate the unique aspects and culture of Krakow. • We work to make Krakow a more beautiful, influential, and pleasant place to live. • We want to become part of the identity of Krakow. • In cooperation with other churches and like-minded organisations we desire to serve the needs of the city.
A church founded on grace
• God forgives us by grace only because of what Jesus Christ has done for us by His life, death and resurrection. • We strive to obey God's Word, which we believe to be inspired by God, therefore it is sufficient, inerrant and authoritative. • God’s mercy and love empower and motivate us to grow in relationship with Christ. • We are a fellowship for whom salvation is a fact, because it was performed by Christ and not by our own merits.
A worship-centered church
• We strive to serve God’s glory. • The Sunday worship service is our corporate meeting with God and the culmination of our week. • Our worship aspires to be biblical, reverent, and culturally sensitive. • We want our worship to express the awe and wonder of God’s presence. • Our worship service reflects worship principles and examples from the Bible. • We want our worship to be Reformed, drawing from the rich history of the Church and be shaped by the wisdom of the Church throughout the centuries.
A loving church
• We believe that the church is a loving, open, honest, supporting, and encouraging community of a variety of people. • Despite being imperfect, we strive to be patient, forgiving, humble, and loving in our relationships with one another based on God's example towards us. • Because hospitality is a biblical principle we want to spend time together, pray together, and enjoy each other’s company. • We believe that God calls us to work in our community for His glory and to proclaim the gospel so that it permeates our city, country, and ultimately the world.
A disciple-making church
• We want to be a church where people are discipled and trained. • We affirm the Biblical commandment to teach fellow believers in healthy Biblical theology and doctrine.
A church engaged in evangelism and missions
• We believe that God has called us to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ locally, regionally, and globally – in order that He may receive all the glory. • We expect people to find hope, forgiveness and reconciliation in Jesus Christ. • We want to train new pastors and leaders for our church and future churches. • We want to be a church-planting church in Krakow, Southern Poland, and other parts of the country and the world.
