The Methodist Church in Rotterdam has been engaged in ministry for nearly thirty-five years. The Congregation has, however, changed its meeting place more than once. Since January 2023 it relocated its place of worship to central Rotterdam. Lord’s Day Worship is now held at the Scots International Church Schiedamsesingel 2.
We meet for Lord’s Day worship every Sunday at 2:00 p.m. and a warm welcome awaits you should you join the Rotterdam Congregation in worship, fellowship, or Christian service.
Lord’s Day Worship is Word-centred and includes the proclamation of the gospel; but we also share in rich fellowship as we embrace persons as equal children of God. We celebrate New Life in Jesus Christ and emphasise our role in home, church and community as stewards of God’s grace. Worship is mostly in English but on the third Lord’s Day of each month, this is more a bilingual celebration, with Dutch hymns and prayers, and sometimes the sermon, forming part of the liturgy. Every Sunday, Children’s Ministry is mostly in Dutch.
Sunday School for children is held during worship but also online at on Sundays 10: 00-11:00. We welcome children who may not be regular worshippers with the Congregation. The SKYPE link can be obtained by contacting tadolphus@ziggo.nl
Bible Study for adults is held online on Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m. On the first and third Tuesdays of the month, studies are in Dutch while English classes are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays.
You can also the congregation in its outreach efforts through financial support or physical participation. Through active involvement, you claim your place in the life of the church and God’s action in the world around us.
If you are new to the city and seeking a home church, we welcome you with open arms. If you are visiting on holiday, please feel free to share in worship and fellowship. There is always a chance to meet and share in the coffee and tea service after worship.
If you wish to share spiritual concerns or seek guidance, our pastoral team headed by Rev’d Dr. Joan Delsol Meade, will gladly receive you.
See you in Rotterdam!
