Netherlands church develops new direction, expands to 3 locations

Netherlands church develops new direction, expands to 3 locations

by | 12 May 2016

The Church of the Nazarene in Amersfoort, Netherlands, has responded creatively to the good “problem” of growing too large for its original church meeting place: Last September, the congregation established two additional locations in other parts of the city.

In Trinitarian language, the church is now three-in-one.

Founded nearly 25 years ago, the church had reached a membership of about 300. The high school theater where they met had seats for just 150, so they moved to two services. But it still felt crowded, with little space for newcomers.

“People felt lost in their own church,” says Pastor Karel Muller.

The Cameroon flag is a vertical tricolor of green, red and yellow, defaced with a five-pointed star in its center. The center stripe is thought to stand for unity: red is the colour of unity, and the star is referred to as "the star of unity." The yellow stands for the sun and also the savannas in the northern part of the country, while the green is for the forests in the southern part of Cameroon.
