OUR CALLING

THROUGH COLLABORATION, WE PLANT CHURCHES

Our calling is for the ‘ancient and the new’. We believe in the ancient truth of the Gospel—as relevant, powerful, and life-changing as ever—and the contemporary expression of that truth, through the church.

We have a dream that the ‘empty Cradles of Europe’, her churches, will once again be filled—those churches that once rang out with the praises of God, which were once centres of learning and culture, hospitality and refuge. This dream guides us.

And so, inspired by the ancient gospel centres that existed in days past, we find our focus in culturally important, city-centre locations in Europe; in church planting teams that are highly trained, motivated and strategic; and in teams that are willing to partner and ready to receive catalytic funding. The ancient and the new.

OUR THEORY OF CHANGE

We believe in the power of vibrant churches in key cultural-centres to create a viable, sustainable, witness to the Gospel.

A diverse ecosystem of churches is required to reach a diverse and secular Europe. Yet, there is a distinct lack of larger, vibrant churches set in key cultural centres. Larger churches that can:

Reset expectations for what church can be.
Become an engaging voice within the city, through a strong public witness.
Resource other churches and new church plants for decades to come.
Purchase strategic, high-profile buildings in city centres that become known as centres of ministry.
Attract and train the next generation of church planters.

WHAT WE WORK TOWARDS

To see 100 vibrant churches planted in the cultural centres of Europe (excluding the UK) in the next decade.

We seek to do this through:

Building a fellowship of friends committed to the long-term financing and support of vibrant churches in Europe.
Building a learning community committed to understanding how vibrant churches in Europe can be started and scaled.

Please note, the Europe Collaboration does not accept applications directly from church plants - we only work through our trusted referral partners. All our church plants work within the European Evangelical Alliance Statement of Faith.
