The church, a place for meeting and sharing...

The Church, from the Greek word "Ecclesia", is the gathering of Christians who have been born again. They gather to praise and honour the true and living God, and Jesus Christ, his son, who came to save humanity by his sacrifice on the cross of Calvary. The meeting place, wherever it may be, should be a place open to everybody, to the local authorities and to the public. So the believers get together each Sunday morning at 10:30 for worship. Our meeting place is also suitable for organizing various events such as concerts, conferences, Bible studies and shared meals for community members...

We left the old meeting place in the rue Pierre Loti in the summer of 2011. New premises were acquired at "5, allée des Lucioles" in Châteauroux. Renovation works are required which will last several months to enable us to accommodate Church members and the public in the best possible conditions. No date for moving into this new place is fixed for the moment, but an announcement will be made on this page in due course.

Meanwhile, our meetings will be held in municipal halls in Châteauroux until the end of the renovations, before we take possession of our new premises..

(1) To find the St. Christophe Hall, exit Châteauroux by "Le Pont Neuf" and follow the "Route de Blois" to the St. Christophe district. Pass the church (on the left) and then the Post Office and the Social Centre St. Christophe (on the right), and take the first road on the right which is called "Rue Grand maison". The hall is located on the right after a few metres. It is a prefabricated building. There is not much parking available in the street, so it would be better if we could share vehicles as much as possible. We suggest meeting in the car park of the old church (Rue Pierre Loti) at 10 am, to go together to the St. Christophe Hall.

(2) The address of the "Salle Jeanine Blanchet" (formerly known as the "salle Notz") is "167, rue Ratouis de Limay". To find the Salle, take the "Avenue d'Argenton", go past the "allée des Lucioles", where our new Church is, under the railway bridge and take the first turning on the left (by a garage). Follow the road to a roundabout and take the little no-through-road on the right. You will see the sign for the Church. Just after the Salle (which is, in fact, a large house), you will see the sign for the car park which is at the rear of the house. You are still invited to meet up in the car park of the old church at rue Pierre Loti at 10am for a lift to the Salle
