Opole is a large city but has only two evangelical protestant churches. This is one of them with about 40 members. The English church gives financial help to support their work with children and young people by enabling them to go to camps and meetings.

The pastor's family |
Just after the end of communism in Poland, the small congregation of the Evangelical Church purchased a plot of land in the centre of the town. Some years later they started building not just a church but a community centre which (when completely finished) will cater to all ages, from toddlers to pensioners.
