First visit
Not sure what to expect? That’s normal.
Before a first visit to a new church, most people want to know the same things: when and where, what the meeting looks like, how long it lasts and how to prepare. We answer these questions below. If something is missing, write or call.
Date and place
Our services are on Sundays at 11:00. Until the end of November we meet at the Victory Home hotel, ul. Dźwigowa 7, Warsaw, in the Włochy district. At the same time we are preparing River’s own home at ul. Usypiskowa 1 in Ochota; we will announce the first meeting there once the date is confirmed.
Check the room and time for each specific Sunday, because on some weekends we meet at a different time or in a different place.

Sunday 11:00
What the service looks like
We begin with worship, about thirty minutes of live music. The band plays and sings, and the song lyrics are on the screen. You can sing along, stand, sit or simply listen.
- Worshipabout thirty minutes of live music
- Sermonusually about an hour
- Prayertogether and personally
- In totalabout two hours, then coffee
Sermon
Then comes the sermon. Pastor Michał or pastor Ewelina preaches, usually for about an hour. It is practical teaching from the Bible on how to live by faith in real life, in plain language. If the word “anointing” means nothing to you, it simply means that God is present in it, and people can sense it.
Prayer
At the end we pray, together and personally for those who ask for it. During prayer, expect God to move: sometimes it’s joy, sometimes tears, sometimes a deep peace. All of that is fine when God touches you.
After the service
The whole service lasts about two hours, and then there is time for coffee and conversation. It’s the best moment to meet people and ask questions. You can also leave right after the sermon.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know anything about the Bible or know how to pray?
No. Come to listen, see what a meeting looks like and meet people. The song lyrics are on the screen, and the sermon is in plain language.
What should I wear?
Whatever you normally wear. We come dressed the way we do every day. There’s no dress code and no special attire.
Where do I sit and what do I do?
Wherever you like. You can sing or listen, stand or sit. After the service, stay for coffee; that’s the easiest time to meet people and have a word with the pastors.

No. Check the time and address of the next Sunday and just come. If you like, let us know beforehand by writing or calling.
Do I have to give anything?
During the service we take a voluntary offering. As a guest you can simply skip it.

About two hours, then coffee for anyone who wants to stay. You can leave at any time, including right after the sermon.
