Jonge Professionelen
We meet every Wednesday for dinner, socializing with other young Dutch professionals, and a Bible study/conversation about faith. We try to share life together on a day-to-day basis. We chose a Dutch name because we are a Dutch-speaking community, but this doesn't mean Dutch needs to be your native language. We are very open to people who speak Dutch as a second language and want to join our community.

Matthew 25 Community
Our community is inspired by Matthew 25:35-36: For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. We are focused on hospitality, prayer, and serving those in need through organizations like Stichting HiP.
