European Baptist Federation Partnership

We are proud partners with the European Baptist Federation (EBF) in supporting mission work across Europe. Through this partnership, we contribute to evangelism, church planting, and community development initiatives throughout the European continent.

About the EBF Mission Partnership

The European Baptist Federation coordinates mission efforts across Europe, focusing on areas where Baptist witness is weak or non-existent. Their mission partnership program enables churches like ours to support strategic evangelism and church planting efforts.

Our Involvement

As an international church based in Berlin, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities for ministry in Europe. Our partnership with EBF allows us to contribute to the broader Baptist movement across the continent.

“Through our EBF partnership, we join a network of churches committed to seeing the Gospel advance throughout Europe.”

Supporting Ukrainian Church Planting in Poland

We support a missionary church planting couple in Poland who are working with displaced people from Ukraine. This vital ministry focuses on establishing a new Ukrainian-speaking church to serve the growing refugee community.

The Ministry Context

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has displaced millions of people, many of whom have found refuge in Poland. This presents both tremendous human need and a unique opportunity for Gospel ministry among Ukrainian-speaking communities.

Ukrainian-speaking church services
Practical support for displaced families
Community integration assistance
Pastoral care and counseling

Church Planting Vision

This church planting initiative aims to establish a sustainable, Ukrainian-speaking church community that can provide spiritual support, practical assistance, and a sense of belonging for displaced Ukrainians in Poland.

“In times of displacement and uncertainty, the church becomes a beacon of hope and a place of refuge for those seeking stability and community.”

How We're Helping

IBC Berlin provides ongoing financial support and prayer for this church planting ministry, helping to establish a vital Ukrainian-speaking church community in Poland.
