Church of God in Poland (Kościół Boży w Polsce)

Kościół Boży w Polsce is the Polish branch of the Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee), one of the oldest Pentecostal churches in the world. In Poland it works as a union of autonomous local churches: their home page counts 75 churches and 15 missions, and their About page speaks of 80 local churches. The office is in Kraków.

Besides Sunday churches, it runs the Compassion publishing institute (over 250 books in Polish and English), Charis Bible College Polska, a humanitarian aid centre for poor families, and homes for more than 120 formerly homeless people in Kraków, Rybnik-Niewiadóm and Winiarczykówka. Their site has a map of all congregations, including services in English, Arabic, Russian and Ukrainian.

In fairness to you: Pastor Arkadius, who leads Embassy of the Kingdom, served as a pastor in this church in Poland (he is listed among its ministers in 2009). We describe it the same way we describe everyone else — only from its own pages.

  Their own pages: kosciolbozy.pl (home, About, Council, Contact, church map). Facts above are taken from those pages only; anything they do not state, we do not claim.

Church of God in Poland (Kościół Boży w Polsce) does not sponsor or endorse Embassy of the Kingdom, and we are not affiliated with them. We list them because we checked them and would put them in a friend’s hands. If you lead a ministry and would like to be considered, or believe something here should be corrected, write to us — we read every message ourselves.
