Warmest Greetings in the Name of
Our Lord Jesus Christ!

The Antwerp International Protestant Church (AIPC) is a spiritual home to many people: expatriates, local residents, students and refugees. We are a family of faith centered in Jesus Christ: growing in worship, serving one another in love, and reaching out to the world with hope. We give thanks to God for the gift of this congregation. As we look forward to the coming year, we believe that God will accomplish great things through us.

We have a strong ministry to youth and families. Teenagers grow closer to God and to each other through a weekly Bible study and a monthly social activity. Children's church is a time for our little ones, ages 3-11, to learn more about God through the stories of the Bible. Special events for younger children and their parents are also being planned. Summer Vacation Bible School is always a highlight and a great opportunity to serve and grow closer together. There are several Bible study groups for women and men which meet during the week. We are also offering the Alpha Course for those who have basic questions about faith and God.

Opportunities for service include reaching out to women at the local refugee center, supporting the Protestant Social Center of Antwerp, volunteering at the Kamiano dinner tables, and ministering to the needs of seafarers.

Sunday worship is the centerpiece of our life together. We celebrate the diversity of our spiritual heritage with songs and liturgies from many cultures and denominations. The first Sunday of each month is special family worship time and on the final Sunday each month we share Holy Communion. All who confess Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord are invited to join us around the communion table. AIPC is an affiliate member of the United Protestant Church of Belgium and we enjoy regular ecumenical worship with neighboring congregations.

Financially, we are a self-supporting congregation, receiving no contributions from other denominations or governments. Giving is not a burden or a requirement, but rather a joyful expression of thanks and trust in a God who provides for his people.

As pastor, I feel blessed to be a part of such a vibrant and growing congregation. God has brought us together for this journey of faith. We welcome you to join us in worship and in service, in giving and in receiving, in growing deeper and closer as the body of Christ at the Antwerp International Protestant Church.
