RAKVERE KARMEL CHURCH
The church - for the salvation of the people & for the change of culture.
Rakvere Karmel church wants to be more than a building, more than church events and more than a community which offers ecclesiastical communion.
With the help of God, we would like to be the understandable, inviting and inspiring image of His Son in today’s society.
Rakvere Karmeli church is a Christian non-profit organization integrating different generations. The congregation has been a part of Rakvere town community for more than 125 years.
Through different times and opportunities the congregation has next to conventional church activities been active in other areas. One of the priorities has through the decades been organizing joint activities with kids and young people. By now we have grown into a community who holds traditional values based on good relations and we are doing it in a way understandable for contemporary people. The congregation has more then 200 members, but people also outside the congregation are actively participating in the activities. During a week almost 300 people visit different events of the congregation.
The congregation belongs to the network of Union of Free Evangelical and Baptist Churches of Estonia (www.ekklesia.ee/in-english) consisting of 85 congregations and more than 6,500 members.
SERVING THE COMMUNITY
The church learns, grows and develops as it ministers outside of "their walls". One of the core values of Karmel church is to be a partner with the local government and with other active community contributors. Through joint cooperation, we have been able to annually hold a number of charitable community projects
SERVING THE REGION
Among evangelical free churches, Karmel church has the largest membership in the region. Our goal is to enable smaller congregations to get served, trained and inspired by the conferences and training environments created by the Karmel church.
OUR CHALLENGE
We have grown over the last ten years:
By members of the church + In expansion of different ways of ministry + In doing different things for the community + In the over-Estonia ministry
The church building has become too small for us and at the same time very depreciated.
We started with the construction of a new building 2019 October.
The seeding opportunity:
Thank you for helping us build new building for serving the best way people of Estonia!
