14 You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 No one lights a lamp and puts it under a bushel, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
—Matthew 5:14–16

Introduction: The purpose of the MCCA is captured in the following acronym:
To meet human needs in response to the gospel of Christ;
To dedicate ourselves to each other and preach biblical truths;
To call all persons to salvation through faith; and
To accept Christ’s call to mission and discipleship
A Christ-centered, visible and sustainable Church that, through the Holy Spirit, actively transforms the whole person, systems and societies.
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.
The Methodist Church in Rotterdam has been active in ministry for thirty years.
Our community has a close relationship with the Moravian Brethren, whose physical church space, their church, is our meeting place for Sunday worship and other program activities on Thursday evenings. The Methodist family in Rotterdam consists of infants, children, youth, young adults, and seniors. Everyone is welcome.
As a member of SKIN-Rotterdam, we are ecumenical and serve the community together with other churches that share the faith.
On Sunday, our Lord’s Day gathering is a Word-centered worship service of God that includes the proclamation of the gospel; but we also share in rich fellowship as we embrace people as equal children of God. We celebrate new life in Jesus Christ and emphasize our role in the home, church, and community as stewards of God’s grace. Our Sunday meetings begin at 2:00 PM. On the second Sunday of the month, the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper (Holy Communion) is administered. On the third Sunday of each month, worship is in Dutch, but on other Sundays, it is in English.
If you are new to the city and are looking for a home church, we welcome you with open arms. If you are visiting and simply want to share in praise, worship, and fellowship, feel free to stop by. There is always coffee and tea service and fellowship after worship.
If you would like to share spiritual concerns or seek guidance, our pastoral team led by Rev’d Dr. Joan Delsol Meade will be happy to host you.
If you are new to Amsterdam or the surrounding area and are looking for a home church, or are simply looking for a church to visit during your vacation, rest assured that you are welcome at the Methodist Church.
We are a small community of Christians who meet in the Baptist Church in Amsterdam Noord. Members of the same community as the Rotterdam Methodist Church, the Amsterdam Methodist Church, have been active in ministry in the Netherlands for the past thirty years.
