Een op Christus gerichte, zichtbare en duurzame kerk die, door de Heilige Geest, actief de hele persoon, systemen en samenlevingen transformeert.
Our mission is to proclaim the gospel of Christ, equip God's people for witness and service, and work toward the holistic transformation of the lives of all people in the Caribbean, the Americas and beyond, across geographic, cultural and linguistic boundaries.
Onze missie is het verkondigen van het evangelie van Christus, het toerusten van Gods volk voor getuigenis en dienstbaarheid, en het werken aan de holistische transformatie van de levens van alle mensen in het Caribisch gebied, Noord- en Zuid-Amerika en daarbuiten, ongeacht geografische, culturele of taalkundige grenzen.
De Methodistenkerk streeft ernaar haar visie te verwezenlijken door middel van de volgende taken, die worden samengevat in het acroniem MCCA:
M Meet human needs in response to the Gospel
C Wij zetten ons in om Bijbelse waarheden te onderwijzen en te verkondigen.
C Roep mensen op tot redding door het geloof.
A Aanvaard Christus’ roeping tot discipelschap en zending.
14 Jullie zijn het licht van de wereld. Een stad die op een heuvel ligt, kan niet verborgen blijven. 15 Niemand steekt een lamp aan om die onder een korenmaat te zetten, maar hij zet hem op een lampenstandaard, zodat hij licht geeft aan iedereen in het huis. 16 Zo moet ook jullie licht schijnen voor de mensen, zodat zij jullie goede werken zien en jullie Vader in de hemel verheerlijken.
— Mattheüs 5:14-16 —

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. It now meets in 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

You can also the congregation in its outreach efforts through financial support or physical participation. Some women of the congregation offer a feeding ministry at the Ronald Macdonald Huis associated with Sofia hospital. Through active involvement in worship, fellowship or outreach ministry, you can 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.
