About
Christ Church South is a congregation that is generally represented by international families. Over the years, this group has developed a strong root in the preaching and teaching and the faith of Christ. We are a culturally and generationally diverse community seeking to make disciples of Christ from all nations in Amsterdam. The South community has been deeply engaged with children’s ministries and experienced it as a fundamental part of the congregation.
We meet Sundays* at 10.15 in at our family friendly and accessible location on the cusp of Amsterdam Zuid/Buitenveldert, Amstelveen and the Middelpolder nature reserve.
When enjoying fellowship outside on one of the terraces after the service, it is almost unbelievable that one is just minutes from the centres of Amsterdam and Amstelveen.
(The Middelpolder nature reserve is located between Amstelveen, Amsterdam, the Amstel and Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, and is also a fantastic place to walk, cycle and explore nature following the service and fellowship) .
*Please check our calendar for exceptions
Our location is close to the Kronenburg station and the A10 ring road. Parking is free and plentiful.
Join us each Sunday as we seek to know God and make Him known.

Children's Church
Our children’s ministry is an essential piece of our full Sunday morning experience. We integrate Biblical learning, worship music, and hands-on activities each week to help foster a love of Christ and the Bible in our children. We are using The Jesus Storybook Bible curriculum; a favorite for many families.
Children’s Church meets bi-weekly alongside our younger youth group for 10-13 year olds.
The aim of the entire ministry is to come alongside parents and serve their families as they are the primary disciple makers of their children.
Muddy Church is a new to us initiative for families to come together, explore and wonder, in and about God’s creativity in nature.

Youth Center
The Youth Group is a place for young people to relax, have some fun together, and share their thoughts, experiences and struggles related to their faith. We have a joint group comprising young people from both the Centre and South congregations.
Youth for 14-18’s meets Sunday evenings bi-weekly at our Centre location
We use games and quizzes to help everyone relax and get to know each other better and we give time for everyone to share their thoughts, feelings and experiences honestly. We use different programmes and websites, e.g. Youth Alpha, to help us explore the Bible and our faith.
We want very much to emphasise meeting the youth where they are, rather than force-feeding them the “right” answers. We want the Youth Group to be a place where the young people can honestly explore and build their faith.

Resources for Adults, Youth & Kids
and for those that want to know more about the Anglican Episcopal Church
IT CAN BE A LITTLE INTIMIDATING walking into a church for the first time. Or maybe it’s just been a long time (like 30 years ago when your mom dragged you to Sunday School). A lot has changed since then. The songs are singable, the sermon understandable, and you don’t need to come in a suit. (By the way, we’d love to see you this Sunday.)
This page and its links may help shed some light on aspects of the 80-million member worldwide Anglican (Episcopal) Communion. We hope you’ll find the material here interesting, entertaining — even challenging. After all, we hold that Jesus Christ came to take away your sins, not your mind.
