There is nothing better than new people joining the conversation.
Our Story
We began this church with a passion for seeing others come into a conversation with God. Our church started when families, singles, business men and women, kids and internationals came together to establish a church in our community. We see Wilanów as a vibrant neighborhood, filled with incredible people who desire a deeper connection with God and with others. We knew that our church would need to look different if it were to effectively engage this community.
We wanted to embrace children and create a fun atmosphere for them to connect with other kids and grow in their Christian faith. We wanted to truly get to know people and not just “go to church”. We wanted to learn from others and hear their stories. We wanted friendships that would be built on a spiritual faith. All of these things and more brought us to creating a church that would inspire conversations with God and others.
Conversations: What Makes Us Unique
Most people have been to church. They have gone in, sat down, listened and left. There was very little conversation with others and, after years of attending, they still didn’t feel heard, known or understood.
We wanted to change that.
At Christian Fellowship of Wilanów we built conversations into the service. We design each message in a way that inspires conversations and then we take the time to listen to others, discuss and share our thoughts, stories and perspectives.
We are not afraid to have the conversations others won’t. We create conversations in everything we do and multiply gospel conversations throughout our city.
Why is conversation so important?
“And The Word became flesh and lived with us” and began a conversation.
Both the Old and New Testament begin with God speaking. If you look at Jesus he is in constant conversation with others. He is listening, answering questions, telling stories and engaging with people. The majority of his teachings are not monologues, but dialogues.
Somewhere along the way, the church lost the power of a conversation. We began monologuing and expected people to just sit and listen. Now, conversation seems like a lost art and our world is in desperate need for real conversations.
Why are conversations so important? Because Jesus started one and invites you to be a part of the conversation.
