One family in Christ, many nations under God
Our Story
How We Began
Our journey began with a simple prayer: to create a place where people from all nations could encounter Christ and experience authentic fellowship. With God’s leading, what started as informal gatherings soon became a thriving church family, united by our love for Jesus and our mission to share His hope.
In 2022, a group of students and believers from around the world gathered in Gdańsk with one desire: to worship God in unity and create a spiritual home away from home. From Poland to Germany, Kenya to Malawi, Zimbabwe to Venezuela, we represent many cultures, but share one faith. What began as small Bible studies has grown into a vibrant, Christ-centered community where everyone is welcome to belong, grow, and serve together.
Building community across cultures since 2022
Our Mission
To build a Christ-centered, international family where people can grow in faith, find belonging, and live out God’s mission — sharing the everlasting gospel in Gdańsk and beyond.
Our Vision
To be a home of hope for all nations in Gdańsk, reflecting Christ's love through our diversity, deepening our walk with Him, and preparing our hearts and others for His soon return.
