A house of mission

Jesus Central Church is a house of mission. From Gouda, we long to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to our city, region, country, and worldwide.

We exist to, in the power of the Holy Spirit, To follow Jesus and proclaim Him in the world. Mission work is not a side issue for us, it is part of our calling.

Just as Jesus called His disciples to be with Him and to send them out (Mark 3:13-15), we believe that restoration and training always lead to movement. What God does in us may flow outward through us.
