Senior Pastor of International Church – Prague, Czech Republic
Faith Community Church, an international English-speaking congregation in Prague, Czech Republic, is seeking a new Senior Pastor to lead our diverse and multicultural community.
Founded in 2007 by Pastor Phil Davis, Faith has been faithfully served by Pastor Davis, who has served for the past 16 years. Recently, Pastor Davis stepped back from the pastorate to pursue a new ministry role with Serge, leaving behind a legacy of faithful ministry that we deeply appreciate.
At Faith Community Church, we welcome a diverse group of congregants from various backgrounds and nationalities. On average, we gather about 80 congregants for our worship service each Sunday, with a committed membership of approximately 30 individuals. Our church family includes long-term members of over 10 years, Erasmus students on short-term study abroad programs, and tourists seeking a place of worship during their visits—and everything in between.
As part of the International Presbyterian Church (IPC) denomination, Faith Community Church adheres to core beliefs aligned with the IPC’s principles, which can be found on our website.
About the Context:
Prague is the dynamic capital of the Czech Republic known for its rich history, stunning architecture, and multicultural ambiance.
The city thrives as a hub for arts and humanities, hosting year-round festivals, exhibitions, and theater performances. Tourists flock from all corners of the globe to witness famous landmarks and experience the city’s vibrant atmosphere. Prague’s comprehensive and reliable public transportation system facilitates the exploration of its diverse neighborhoods, with shops, cafes, and parks.
Faith Community Church is situated in the Letná neighborhood of Prague, in the proximity of two large parks within a short walking distance from our church building. During warmer months, it’s common to head to the beer garden in Letenské sady after the Sunday service for dinner.
