A Short Tour Through our New Church

More than a year ago, we described a vision for our young church and made a request. Several of our friends and family responded by indicating they would like to support the project.  At the end of 2024 I (Jeremy) recorded a video showing what our new space looks like.

If you are interested in continuing to support the work, please send me an email at jeremy.bohall@gmail.com  

Partners for the Gospel

It's truly beautiful to see the ways in which the Lord has blessed Danijel and Tijana's "long obedience in the same direction". Tom preached from Luke 8 and reminded the congregation about the importance of trusting the Lord in the midst of difficult times. He emphasized "marvel" and contemplation during ti...

The first step to this was purchasing a building.  To make a long story short, this past June, Pastor Ratko signed the papers and our church has become owners of a property on the most well-known street in Zagreb!  Ilica, the most well-known street in Croatia. Our new facility is the white building on the left. Over the last several years, the Lord has planted a vision in the hearts and minds of the leadership of Stijena Spasenja (Rock of Salvation). In thinking and praying for our local church and our city, we have often been inspired by Timothy Keller. His words:   " Christians should seek to live in the city, not to use the city to build great churches, but to use the church’s resources to seek a great, flourishing city" helped articulate a vision for how our church relates...
