We are a church with a vision:

• To become a group of people whose lives are increasingly changed by the love and protection of God thanks to the proclamation of the Good News, the gospel of Jesus Christ, the crucified and resurrected Son of God.

• To see our personal knowledge of Jesus Christ and our understanding of His call on our lives grow through His grace, resulting in a life that pleases Him.

• To establish a community sensitive to God’s apostolic call: to be a blessing to Annecy, the surrounding regions, the country of France and the world.

• To be a church of 'creative' worshipers, who pray and express their love for Jesus Christ with passion.

• To be a church where everyone is equipped, trained and encouraged to use the gifts God has given them.

• To be a church where everyone is accepted, appreciated and loved.

• To be a community where unity, hospitality and a spirit of generosity are always evident.

• To be a church where New Testament biblical, apostolic leadership is encouraged and taught.

• To be a prophetic people, ie to be a community who lay hold of the call of God to accomplish the good works he has prepared in advance for us by following his chosen path, the personal and communal plan that God reveals.

The importance of home groups

We believe that home groups are vital in the church. They are moments where people can get to know each other better, weaving strong bonds of friendship, thus integrating into the life of the church. Love, encouragement, friendship and joy – key parts of a family – grow in these moments spent together.

A home group becomes like my family, in whom I can trust and count on whenever I have need for it. It is also a moment where we know that God will speak to us – encouraging us, teaching us and giving us counsel through the mouths of friends. jump to top
