A vision to build a 2,035-seat church and ministry center in Prague.
A small church in Prague. A great God. A vision that only He can accomplish.

A 2,035-seat church and ministry center for Bible teaching, Christian education, leadership training, social service, and multilingual ministry in Prague.
Prague is the capital of Czechia and a strategic international crossroads. To our knowledge, no evangelical center of this scale exists anywhere in Czechia or Slovakia. A full-week center — church, school, training, social service, and mission — in one integrated building.
2,035 seats create capacity for weekly worship, Bible school, conferences, Christian education, and long-term growth. The number echoes the national BJB Mission Plan 2035 — bold faith at every level.
18 years of active ministry, a purchased church building, and an operating preschool for 48 children. Aligned with the BJB national vision for bold faith, new churches, and new leaders across Czechia.
Czech, Russian/Ukrainian, English, Korean, and international ministry — one gospel, one mission, many languages from day one.
Long-term infrastructure — not a short-term event. Preschool, elementary school, Bible school, and leadership training in one place.
"This is not only a building.
It is long-term infrastructure for the next generation."
Bold Faith Prague is not just a large auditorium. It is one integrated ministry center where five interconnected pillars operate together — designed to serve Prague and Central Europe for generations.
Our preschool already serves mostly children from non-Christian families, builds trust with parents, and helps form the next generation in Prague. The future elementary school continues this work through the most formative years of life — reaching families who may never first come through a church door.
Bold Faith Prague is at the very beginning. We have not yet acquired land, raised funds for this project, or completed a feasibility study — and we believe that is exactly where God wants founding partners to step in.
The first step is not construction. The first step is prayer, conversation, and the formation of a trustworthy project structure.
Covers land, design, permits, construction, infrastructure, school facilities, ministry spaces, and project reserve. Subject to feasibility study.

We are a Baptist church in Prague, part of Bratrská jednota baptistů. Our church was planted 18 years ago. We have purchased our own church building and operate a preschool for 48 children. BJB's national Mission Plan 2035 calls for bold faith, new churches, and new leaders — Bold Faith Prague grows directly from these shared values.
Our preschool serves 48 children — most from non-Christian families. Every day they hear the Bible, pray, and experience Christian love through faithful teachers. Through the children, we build trust with parents who may never first come to church. The future elementary school continues this work through the most formative years of life.
We are a small international church community of about 60 people. Many are from Ukraine; others come from Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, Russia, Czechia, and other backgrounds.
We know this vision is far bigger than our current size. That is exactly why we call it Bold Faith Prague. We believe God often chooses what looks small, so that when His work is done, no person can take the glory.
We already own a church building and operate a preschool for 48 children. They happened because God moved people to help. Bold Faith Prague follows the same pattern: a small church, a great God, and a vision that requires Him to act.
We are not pretending the project is funded or ready to build. We are a small but established Baptist church in Prague, standing at the beginning of a much larger vision.

Vision Stage. We are at the very beginning — clarifying the vision, inviting prayer, and beginning founding conversations. No land acquired, no funds raised for this project, no feasibility study completed. The first step is serious conversation, prayer, and the formation of a trustworthy project structure.
At this stage, through prayer, founding conversations, strategic wisdom, land search support, legal and financial advice, professional expertise, church partnerships, and early project preparation support. We are not asking for commitments yet — we are asking for conversations.
