What’s new at IPC
September 2026
This is the weekend of car-free Sunday in Brussels and we will therefore be meeting on Saturday at the end of the afternoon – at 17:00 – for a meditative vesper service led by Pastor Phil and Philippe. We’ll meet in the side chapel (on the opposite side of the sanctuary from Fellowship Hall) and we’ll both sing and hear a message from Pastor Phil entitled “Equal in God’s Love” in a more contemplative, non-traditional service. It will be somewhat shorter than usual so plenty of time to be home, or out, for dinner – especially as there will be no Fellowship on Saturday. Please do join us.
As your Sunday morning will be free, please consider joining the group from IPC that will meet in the center of Brussels for a cleanup action as part of World Cleanup Day. The group will meet at 10:00 – contact Danielle Tylke in advance if possible so that she knows who to expect and can communicate the exact meeting location
Our Wednesday evening Bible study is back after an August break.
A new, in-person Bible study, on Tuesday evenings in Auderghem just a short walk from both the church and the Hermann-Debroux metro, hosted at Russ and Nico’s new place and led by Nico – has also started. For further details speak with Nico at church on Sunday.

Our Life at IPC
Welcome!
The International Protestant Church of Brussels is an inclusive church, welcoming all!!
We have a full program of Choir, Worship, and Fellowship every Sunday, with special events held throughout the year. There are also a variety of educational and fellowship events every week. 
Children’s Sunday School is available as needed — children and their teacher leave for Sunday School immediately following the Anthem.
Women of the Church meetings are held monthly on a Saturday morning. Watch the website or the Weekend Watch email for details!
Men of the Church meet, usually on the last Saturday of the month, for breakfast.
A weekly Bible Study is held on Zoom on Wednesday evenings.
We celebrated our 100th anniversary in 2023. Our congregation began with a series of meetings in 1922, ending in the laying of a cornerstone on November 9, 1923, at a church on the Champs de Mars in downtown Brussels. We are excited to begin our second century!
Mission of the Month
September 2026
Beautiful Gate Lesotho
The Beautiful Gate Care Centre, located in Maseru, Lesotho, offers a sanctuary to orphaned, abandoned, and also HIV/AIDS affected children, ages newborn to 5 years old, giving them not only the care they need, but also the comfort and love they deserve.
In a country afflicted by overwhelming poverty and extreme disease, children are often tragically neglected, abandoned and forgotten by society. BGL counters this heartbreak by ensuring these precious lives are more than statistics.
