We are an International multicultural church plant in the City of Tampere reaching out in the suburb of Hervanta.
Hervanta is a suburb Tampere is home to a technical university and numerous high-tech companies specializing in fields such as mechanics, electronics, and software development. Over 20% of Hervanta’s population comes from foreign backgrounds, representing more than 100 different nationalities and language groups. Hervanta has one of the highest unemployment rates among Tampere's suburbs and the lowest income levels.
Our church plant seeks to reach the people who live, study or work in Hervanta with both Finnish and internationals.
We are looking for gospel-centered and mission-minded people to come and engage in our university campus, seek to share the Gospel and invite people to fellowship and worship.
