Welcome to the Anglican Church in Sofia!
We are delighted you’re considering joining us. Whether you’re visiting Sofia, looking for a church home, or exploring faith, you are welcome here. Our motto, “All Are Welcome, All Are Loved,” reflects our commitment to creating a community where everyone feels valued and supported.
What should I expect on my first visit?Our services run from 10:00 am to 11:15 am every Sunday. We invite you to arrive a bit earlier—our doors open at 9:30 am, with filter coffee and tea available before the service begins.
Our worship follows a traditional Anglican liturgy, including creeds, prayers, hymns, and a sermon. Holy Communion is an integral part of our service, and all who wish to partake are warmly invited to do so. We also aim to blend traditional and contemporary worship styles to create an engaging and meaningful experience for all. Read more about What We Believe here.
After the service, we gather for more coffee and tea in the church lounge. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet others, build connections, and engage in meaningful conversations.
