Church on Silver Coast

Hi Folks
As far as we know there is not an English speaking church service on the Silver Coast, the nearest are in Porto and Cascais. We have spoken with pastors of churches who are willing to either have an English speaking service or even plant a new church which is encouraging, however in both cases, before we can move forward, we need to know potential numbers so we are trying to collate a list.

This would be a great opportunity to worship our Lord on Sundays, maybe have mid week bible study, have home groups and develop an English speaking Christian community.

Please Private Message me if you would like to be included.

Blessings

Nigel and Bev

Thank you, but as I said closest is Lisbon or Porto......................

Hi,

On the Silver Coast there is a large English speaking community. It is a matter of this community getting organized and contacting these English speaking churches in Lisbon. There will easily be a solution for this current gap. :cheers:https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=966527

Thanks JohnnyPT

I have been in touch with three of these Churches, one on the Silver coast who may be willing to have an English service and another two who would be willing to plant a church. However in all 3 cases it will obviously depend on sufficient numbers to make it work, hence my original post, if like minded Christians can PM me I can start a mailing list so I can give updates as to the progress.

Thank you

Nigel

Hi, Hope you are well. How do I private message you? GOD Bless Roly

I got your message and will contact you, many thanks.

When we moved here, we first worshipped God in small groups of English-speaking families.

@Vidanova Hi! We are a small group located in Vila do Conde if you're interested, here's our website: [link moderated]/ (in English and Portuguese)

@Angela Janzen

Hi Angela, That is thoughtful of you to reach out. I think you are North of Porto, is that correct? If so a bit far for us. At the moment we are attending an English speaking bible study in Caldas da Rainha and we hope to be starting an English speaking church within the next month or so. We have quite a few expats that are keen to attend we just need to get a few ducks in order. On that note any one within the catchment area of Caldas da Rainha that would like to attend a non Denominational English speaking church please send me a message. 

@Vidanova . Hello ! I have lived here for some years and worship is within  a Portuguese evangelical church  but have just come across this site. I would be very interested in hearing more from you and perhaps joining you.

     Beijinhos,

       Lis Carneiro de Sousa

Nigel,

Thank you so much for the response. I can't come today but I appreciate your quick response. I live in Figueira Da Foz and will let you know when I can make it down there.

@jbarry163


Hi Jeffrey If you wish, can you send me an sms text to *** with your email address so that I can add you to our weekly newsletter so that you can see what's going on. The same applies to any one reading this post.


Also there are two ladies that I have contacts for that also live in Figuera da Foz, one does not drive but I think both would like to come to the church and maybe could share a ride. Just a thought.


Please get in touch.
