Welcome To Our Church
The Anglican Church in Twente which was founded in 1979 provides English language Church services in Twente and environs. The congregation is drawn from an area with a radius of 50 km of its centre in Weldam near Goor. This area has several averagely large towns, encompassing the towns of Almelo, Apeldoorn, Deventer, Enschede, Hengelo, Oldenzaal, Winterswijk and Zutphen. The Church is part of the East Netherlands Group of Chaplaincies (ENGC) which includes Arnhem and Nijmegen. It also belongs to the Anglican Diocese in Europe, a diocese of the Church of England(C-of-E), and is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion of some 70 million people. The first Anglican Church in the Netherlands was established in The Hague as long ago as 1586. Anglican communities in Europe are united in the Diocese of Gibraltar in Europe, this being the only Church of England (C-of-E) diocese outside the British Isles. As an Anglican Church, our worship follows the form generally used in the C-of-E, but Christians of all denominations and many nationalities regularly take part. Our congregation has an informal character and we extend a welcome to you to join our worship. If you are entitled to take communion in your own church, you are welcome to take it with us too. For members of our community, we offer a variety of activities and social events spread throughout the year. We make use of a beautiful chapel built in 1900 by an English architect for the use of the Weldam Estate of which it is a part. Persons of all nationalities are welcomed ! Holy Communion is open to all baptized Christians. Services are held every Sunday at 10.30 a.m. and on special other days, and are in English. For further information, you are invited to call:
