Our story
How it started.Two families, one calling, two languages
This is the story of HOM Church, where our roots are, and of how HOM International grew out of it. Draft, for review
HOM International
The English-speaking church

HOM Church.Where we come from
Draft translation of the HOM Church story — review
A calling
In 2023 two families in Warsaw, who did not know each other, became convinced at almost the same time that God was calling them to start a new church in the city. In both cases the decision grew despite many outside difficulties and sensible reasons to wait. Through inner conviction and outside confirmation, God showed that this was his time and his plan.
Two communities, one vision
In 2024 two separate communities started, each growing at its own pace and in its own setting. Towards the end of the year it became clear that God was leading them towards each other. The agreement in heart, vision and direction was too clear to ignore.
HOM Church
At the start of 2025 the two communities began a shared road as one church: HOM Church. Together they build a church that returns to biblical patterns in life and structure, rests on a team of leaders rather than one central person, supports people in their spiritual growth and everyday life, is open and missional, and makes room for real relationships, service and growth.
HOM International
[TODO: year, and how the English-speaking church grew out of HOM Church and became a church of its own]
Sample photo, not final Who we are as a church
We believe the church is not a building and not a Sunday programme. It is people: together, with God, in real life. Our desire is that from HOM more communities will grow, in Warsaw, in Poland, and maybe further. HOM International is one of them.
Both churches share one visual identity, one set of values and one statement of faith. We are two churches because we speak two languages, not because we went separate ways. Draft, for review
