What kind of church is Thousand Hills?
We are an international interdenominational church that is open to people of all backgrounds and cultures. Our aim as a church is to bring people to Jesus, and to encourage our community to follow him as we serve God and others. To help us achieve this, we emphasize four core values: experience-based worship, reconciliation, relationships and multiplication.
What are our meetings like?
A typical Sunday morning celebration starts at 10:30am, and lasts for around ninety minutes. During that time, we’ll share a number of contemporary worship songs, led by a team of musicians and singers, as well as a time of prayer, a chance to meet and greet the people around you, and a message from the Bible that is relevant to your life today. At the end of each meeting, there’s always an opportunity to pray together with either the pastor, or else with a member of our prayer team. It’s up to you how involved you get in the service – you’re welcome to join in, or simply to sit back and observe, depending on how you feel the most comfortable. The service is always followed by a cup of coffee, a chat, and a chance to get to know each other better.
What should I wear?
Anything you like! Thousand Hills doesn’t have a dress code, so feel free to wear what you feel comfortable in! Whatever you wear, we welcome you to be yourself.
Is there anything for children and teenagers?
At Thousand Hills, we run engaging and age-appropriate classes for children between 0–12 during the service. We also have a group specially designed for teenagers, called Mosaic. This group leaves after the music section of the service, giving 12 to 18 year-olds a chance to meet up, discuss, and enjoy teaching that is relevant to them.
Who are your pastors accountable to?
Sebastiaan, our lead pastor, is ordained in the Dutch Assembles of God (the Verenigde Pinkster- en Evangeliegemeenten) and he’s a national leader of this movement. However, Thousand Hills welcomes anybody, from any background.
Can I meet the pastor or anybody else on the leadership team?
Yes you can! Our leadership team is always around, and you are very welcome to speak to one of them before or after the service. You can find out a bit more about them here.
