Rakvere Karmel church …

"The church  for every day"


 

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 120 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 186 members, but people also outside the congregation are actively participating in the activities. During a week almost 250 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 83 congregations and more than 6,000 members. 

SERVING YOUNG PEOPLE:    
Karmel church is home for all generations, but the biggest area of ministry is children, young people and young families. Throughout the Soviet time we have been doing secretly forbidden and today publicly everything, with all of our strength and skills to bring true, for today's youth understandable and practically livable gospel to the new generation!

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 eight 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 want to start with the construction of

a new building at the latest in 2018.
