Welcome!

NEW HERE?

You are very welcome in The Garden

Whatever age or stage of life you are in, you are welcome with us at International Church, The Garden.

The Garden is a vibrant, international church where people of all ages, and from more than 30 different nationalities, come together to explore faith, grow in God’s love, and serve Him in every season of life, together.

You can find out more about what to expect below - but we would encourage you to just come and see for yourself.

Getting here

Parking:

On-site, parking your bike is easy, and we have reserved spaces for those who benefit from extra assistance.

There is on-street parking around The Garden, and on Sunday mornings, you can also park in the GGZ car park (on the corner of Koningsstraat and Laan van de Heelmeesters), or Albert Heijn's paid car park is only a 2-minute walk away: Parkeergarage Gooiland.

Public Transport:

9292.com can help you plan your visit. Within walking distance are:

Hilversum Centraal and Hilversum Sportpark train stations; and

Schapenkamp and Kapelstraat bus stops.

During the service

Translation:

Primarily in English (with some Dutch), our Sunday service is often translated into at least 15 different languages — selected from a choice of more than 200.

Service:

The band will lead a couple of worship songs to begin. After a few announcements, children and youth head upstairs to their age-appropriate groups. Each week, you can expect a practical, Bible-based message to encourage, challenge, and equip.

But church doesn’t end when the service does!
Stay for coffee afterwards — we’d love to meet you, help you connect with others, and share more about what’s happening at The Garden and how you can get involved.
