POLAND

For many years, the Catholic Church was guardian of Polish culture, national identity, and conservative Catholicism in the face of Soviet communism. Although spiritual apathy is now on the rise, many Poles remain loyal to a cultural Catholicism. The city of Krakow is a cultural center, a hub for tech companies, and the home of the oldest university in Poland, but like the rest of the country, a city where religion is either Catholic legalism or considered passe.

We desire to support the newly formed denomination, the Presbyterian Church in Poland, by helping to establish a multicultural, biblical, Reformed church in Krakow. We hope to see this church plant become a healthy, gospel-centered community that offers hope rather than religious legalism and ritualism. The church’s outreach ministries currently include a publishing house, a Christian pre-school, engaging the arts community, and welcoming displaced Ukrainians. They are an important partner in MTW’s ongoing Ukraine crisis response. In addition to the church plant in Krakow, we are also supporting a church plant in the city of Gdansk.
