Congregation

We have two congregations, one in Amsterdam and the other in Rotterdam.

If you would like more information, please click on the name of each location and send us a message.

If you are a new resident of Amsterdam looking for a home church, or are visiting and need a place to worship, be assured of a warm welcome at the Methodist Church – Methodist Church Netherlands (MKN). Together with the Amsterdam Congregation, we are the Holland Circuit of the Methodist Church in the Caribbean and America (MCCA). The MCCA has been active in ministry in the Netherlands for the past 35 years.

We are a small, close-knit community of believers who meet for worship at the Baptist Church at Het Breed 2 in Amsterdam Noord. Sunday worship begins every Sunday at 2:30 PM and you are most welcome to join the Amsterdam Congregation for worship, fellowship or Christian service.

Sunday worship is Word-centered and 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 home, church, and community as stewards of God’s grace. Worship services are mostly in English with children’s ministry in Dutch. However, once a quarter, on the fifth Sunday, there is a Dutch worship service led by the choir.

Sunday School for children is held during the worship service, but also online. We welcome children who may not be regular churchgoers with the Congregation.

Adult Bible Study is held online on Tuesdays at 7:30pm. The first and third Tuesdays of the month are in Dutch, while the second and fourth Tuesdays are in English.

There is a pastoral team led by the minister, an appointed lay worker and a team of pastoral leaders [Class Leaders]. Should you wish to share spiritual concerns or seek guidance, the minister, Rev’d Dr Joan Delsol Meade, or the appointed lay worker, Bro Alfred Glasgow, will be happy to receive you.
