Rotterdam City Church

Is a Bible Based Christian non-denominational Church, which focuses’ on impacting people in and around Rotterdam with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The church started from a prayer group of 4 people of which none lived in the city but came to city to pray.

This later evolved into a congregation.

4 years of proclaiming the King in the city.....

Rotterdam is the second largest city of the Netherlands and is known as " the gateway of Europe". The city consists of a bubbling energetic multicultural crowd from around the world. Rotterdam city church began 4 years ago in Kralingen Crooswijk in Rotterdam the Netherlands as prayer group with 5 people.

At that time there was no church nor church format, only 5 people with a burning desire to see a revival break out in the nation.

A city which already has a vast number of churches of different flavors and colors yet has left the city with very little Christian positions of influence as it has been flooded with Mosque's and secular humanism penetrating the church.

Our prayer sessions continued and were later joined a by a several locals, as none of the intial group involved lived in the city. During this time Carina & Sjorensly Regales were some of the locals which the Lord used mightily. This thrust of intercession was done in conjunction with street outreach as Word was consistently being spread on the streets.

Pastor Nsongo recalls. “ Marjolein and I had come to place in our life where we longed for genuineness at whatever the price, after many years of seeing church theatrics. Even if the beginnings seemed small…”

As the group grew intercession stayed the main focus as they met weekly in the sports complex “Het Schuttersveld” in Kralingen Crooswijk.

Meetings shifted to becoming more family oriented as families came and as the Lord restored family units, preaching became more directed to life issues.

By the beginning of 2011 the church relocated another complex called “ Oostervant” in Delfshaven, Rotterdam to accommodate the growth. Although a predominately Muslim area, it did not withhold us form reaching out to Muslims in the area and share the good news.

By September 2012 the Church, which had then grown into a small congregation relocated again to “De Bron” which is close to CBD of Rotterdam.

BAPTISM SERVICE

As over the years several people have found Christ, RCC aims not to focus on transfer growth but on new converts as prayer and evangelism continue to remain the lifeline of the church.

The church holds a vibrant multicultural mix of people, which have one passion: Jesus Christ

“Although our vision reaches far beyond the shoreline of Netherlands we have found this step of planting to be crucial and strategic step in a bigger plan” says Pastor Marjolein.
