Sundays at IPC:

From the Children's Christmas Play, December 13, 2009

• Worship Service, 10 am (additional Christmas services December 24 - 6 pm and 9 pm)
• Sunday School (for children and youth), 10:20 am when schools are in session
• Coffee Hour Fellowship for all, 11:15 am         

Our worship life is the center of our ministry here in Brussels.  Each Sunday we gather to worship God in English, following a traditional Protestant service style, blending preaching and contemporary and traditional church music into a lively time of praise and celebration.  Children are at the heart of our ministry.  We are a church congregation with many young families and lots of children, and it is not unusual to see seventy children gather for our Children’s Talk during worship.  Afterwards, they move on to Sunday School, along with the youth, while the adults remain in worship for the remainder of the service.

Our international church draws from a combination of Protestant traditions. Theologically, we reflect the practices and organization of mainline denominations. We celebrate the sacraments of baptism and open communion, and our worship focuses on understanding God’s word. Our Sunday service, which is always in English, includes a children’s sermon and a variety of traditional and contemporary music. In addition to worship, educational programs are available for all ages

We are an inclusive church.  Our interdenominational and international character warmly embrace friends and fellow worshippers from a variety of traditions and heritages within the Christian family.  No one is a stranger for long at the IPC.  We are all one family.
