Nieuwe Kerk Groningen

The New Church is a vibrant pluriform community of faith in the heart of the city of Groningen and belongs to the Protestant Municipality of Groningen. In turn, this is part of the Protestant Church of the Netherlands (PKN).

The monumental church building is a cohesive factor of significance. A large variety of believers find one home at that roof. Everyone has the space to experience faith in his or her way and to be Christian. For example, the church in the New Church has grown into a wide and open community of faith where everyone can feel welcome regardless of age, sex, race, skin color or sexual preference. At the same time, the monumental church building connects the church council with the city. There are concerts and lectures, Stadjers choose the place for the funeral or festive occasion. Thus, the church building offers the city an additional window on the city. The New Church is from church and city.

Mutual respect and understanding is of great importance in the New Church. "Do not believe you alone ..." This is reflected in the weekly church services and the discussion groups and circles.

In short, the New Church is a pluriform community that is constantly in motion. A community in the midst of society in which currentity is linked to spirituality and religion. A Protestant congregation, both in depth and width.
