Thomas and Libby Home Group Detail

We would love to welcome you to our relaxed and informal home group which meets on Tuesdays in central Brussels, close to porte de Namur metro station. We are an English speaking group, including people of different ages, varied backgrounds and many nationalities. We find our group identity in living out our faith in Christ together which unites and gives us all a place to belong.

We like to worship together, even though we aren't all musically talented! We study the bible, share testimonies and pray for each other and the wider community. We want to encourage each member of the group not just to receive but also to serve to bless others and build up the church community by helping each other in practical ways and through group projects. We also like to have fun times together including meals together, hanging out together and sharing our lives.

We believe home group is a safe place for people to grow and discover their gifting.
It also serves as a first point of call for receiving pastoral care in the church.

Larry and Lisa Home Group Detail

The Waterloo house group would like to invite all members of Vineyard Brussels who are looking to join a group of believers meeting together in Waterloo. We enjoy having an evening each week to gather for fun fellowship, a time of worship, Bible study and prayer. We have been in existence for about 3 years and all members live locally in and around the town of Waterloo.

Our vision for the group is to provide members with opportunities to be encouraged in our walk with God and to grow in our faith by the active sharing of our lives in "Kingdom Living" lifestyle: Our evenings include fun times together, worship, discussions on the meaning of Biblical truth and how it applies to our daily lives, being committed to living within a framework of transparency and accountability to one another, and by being deeply committed to prayer. We look forward to hearing from you!

Deb and Nina Home Group Detail

Our Home-Group is represented by 13 nationalities. Yet, we are like a family. Each week, we have an average attendance of 12 members.

Like all families, we do many things together. Besides praise and worship, Bible studies, praying, interceding for one another, giving testimony or telling one's life story (voluntary), sharing each other's joy and pains, we also play both indoor and outdoor games, have quiz competitions, potluck, and sometimes we invite guest speakers.

While we strive to have an intimacy with God, and a meaningful relationship with one another, our greatest desire is to help each other to discover his or her spiritual gift(s), and at the same time, create a conducive environment for the development of those gifts.

Our visions for next year are:
To witness the greater manifestation of spiritual gifts during our meetings. The realisation of God's will for us as a group.

If you are in search of a home group whose membership endeavours to be each other's keeper as apostle Paul advised the New Testaments churches, think of ours.

Uwe and Susanna Home Group Detail

Welcome to our home group! We are an English-speaking group that meets on Tuesday evenings in central Brussels, currently in Ixelles near Place Flagey.

We enjoy the fun and fellowship of meeting together and meeting with God.
In worship, prayer and Bible study, we love to draw close to God.
In personal sharing and intercession, we encourage each other for our daily walks with Christ.

We love coming together and supporting one another as God's family, given that most of our natural families are far away. We look forward to getting to know you at church and having you around at home group!

Matladi Home Group Detail

Our home group is located at the heart of Brussels where it acts as an oasis in this busy city. We meet to grow closer to God, grow together as a community and learn what it means to live out our faith together. Everyone is welcome just the way they are, a place to let your guard down!

In recent months we have focussed on praying for one another and our countries including Belgium, sharing practical biblical applications, communion and meditating on scripture in Taizé-style evenings.

For the coming meetings, we look forward to putting the gifts of the Holy Spirit into practice as well as sharing testimonies to get to know each other better.

We also regularly organise socials, e.g. trip to the Brussels Oktoberfest for some German beer, enjoying Belgian fries or ice cream together, watching a World Cup game or a movie, etc.

Please come and join us on Wednesday evenings! (start at 19h30)

Stephan and Arja Home Group Detail

Our aim is to help each other to live life based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. This through encouraging to deepen knowledge and understanding of the Bible, to cultivate personal encounter with God, to help develop spiritual maturity and an attitude of service towards others.

Together we work to GROW: growing individually and growing as a group, growing inward and growing outward.

We want to be a family where relationships play a vital role. At present, we are about ten adults from different nations, different cultures and different backgrounds. Although we all speak different languages, we use English for our main communication.

We take time to share, pray, worship and learn together in a home setting. We do meet also socially. Last year we focused on the "7 laws for life," a series put together by Selwyn Hughes. This year we focus on the Lord's prayer with the help of material also put together by Selwyn Hughes.

We meet every Wednesday evening from 19h45 till 22h00 (not during holidays or when growing together evenings take place in the church).

Ben and Esther Home Group Detail

Where? In Uccle
When? Wednesday night at 8pm
Who? People of all ages
Language exchange? French
What? In our meetings, we try to create an atmosphere that encourages interaction and sharing of gifts the Lord gave to each.

Always with the aim of edifying and encouraging each other, we plan lots of very different activities.
We have moments of sharing, worship, prayer and study of the Word. This can be done conventionally or through more creative activities such as crafts according to a theme or Bible verse, "soaking" (meditation with music in the background) ...
Currently, our studies focus more on "prayer" but we alternate with other activities prepared by members of the group.

From time to time we have "social" events over a meal, cinema, theater ... We will soon be volunteering together for an association

We're open to suggestions.

We look forward to meeting you over a cup of tea or coffee and a little biscuit carefully prepared by our hosts. For more information, please send an e-mail to Charlotte at cvanhorle@yahoo.fr. Her phone number is 0497 11 31 19.

Sonja, Bayo, Esther and Iris Home Group Detail

Living in Antwerp city or its surroundings?

We would very much enjoy having you join us at our home group meetings every other Tuesday evening from 20hrs.

What started out as “Crazy Pizza Tuesdays” has become a real solid home group where “crazy” and “pizza” are still very much present.

Our Tuesday evenings are filled with joyful noises pleasing to God, hard core board games, discussions on how the Biblical truths apply in our daily lives, because knowing is not enough, we also apply; and willing is not enough, we also do.

We find joy in our diversity; reflected through our different age brackets, nationalities and cultures, but find our bonding and commonness in Christ and the sharing of our faith. Through this, we are able to reflect deeper, encourage one another and have a broader view of life issues as we share our daily lives together.

Being located in the very centre and near the river Schelde, our socials may easily result in one of the many cosy restaurants, a local cafe or evening walk in the cobble-stoned streets of the old town of Antwerp....

We look forward to meeting you.
