What should I expect on my first visit?

Our services run from 10 am to 11 am every Sunday (from 3 November 2024). We invite you to arrive a bit earlier—our doors open at about 9:40 am.

We follow a traditional Anglican (Church of England) liturgy, including creeds, prayers, hymns, and a sermon. We are also exploring contemporary worship, and musical talents are always welcome! Arriving early gives us a wonderful opportunity to introduce ourselves and chat before the service begins.

After the service, we gather for tea and coffee in the church lounge or at a nearby coffee shop. This time is perfect for getting to know each other better and engaging in meaningful conversations.

How do I get to the church?

We are located at Ulitsa Oborishte 5, Sofia City, Bulgaria, 1504 (click for Google Maps), adjacent to The Doctor's Garden and Central Library.

What should I wear?

Please wear whatever makes you comfortable. We focus on you, not your outfit.

Are children welcome at the service?

Children are very welcome to join us during the service. We currently do not offer separate services or child care.

How can I get involved?

We love getting to know our church members and welcome anyone interested in helping out. Once we get to know each other, we can explore the best ways for you to contribute your time and talents.

How can I support the church?

Donations are gratefully accepted in person via our donation box, through QR codes on our service sheets and posters, or online via Stripe. We appreciate support in any form—time, talents, or monetary gifts.

Who leads the church?

Our church is guided by Pastor Bob Hall (Licensed Lay Minister), who has approximately forty years of experience with the Church of England. Assisting him is Ashley Deutschmann, who holds a Bachelor of Christian Leadership Degree. Together with Margaret Hall, who warmly welcomes everyone at our services, they form a dedicated team committed to fostering a nurturing, welcoming, and inclusive community.

What denominations are part of your church community?

While we are a Church of England church, we welcome members from Reformed, Roman Catholic, Bulgarian Orthodox, Methodist, and other denominations. We offer Eucharist (also called Communion or the Lord's Supper) for those who partake and are open to hosting Baptisms, weddings, and other rites upon request.

How can I submit a prayer request?

Prayer requests can be made in person, by email at [email protected], or through our Facebook page (via Messenger).

How can I stay updated on church activities?

Our Linktree is regularly updated with links to our events calendar, online donation link, social media accounts, and more. While we don’t send regular emails, we actively post updates on our Facebook page.

Can I let you know if I’m coming?

You’re welcome to let us know in advance if you plan to attend by using the "Connect Card" link in the menu or by visiting our Facebook events page. However, this is not a requirement; you can simply join us whenever you are able.

Our motto, "All Are Welcome, All Are Loved," embodies our mission to live as Jesus taught us, making everyone feel at home in our community.
