What’s new at IPC
September 2026
It’s a special Sunday at IPC this weekend as it is time for our annual Welcome Back luncheon after worship. It’s a bring-and-share event so bring along something to share if you can but join us even if you can’t bring anything as there is always plenty to share – and invite a friend. Worship will be at 11:15 as usual with Pastor Phil bringing a message entitled “He Moved into the Neighbo(u)rhood”, based upon the lectionary reading from Philippians.
Attention road closure: there will be a “brocante”/street market on Sunday morning along Avenue J. Chaudronlaan – the street the heads up from the metro and the Esso station, so no traffic will be allowed on Sunday morning. Use one of the alternative driving routes and those of you who come by public transport keep in mind that the 41 bus will not be running up the hill in the morning – service could well be running again by the time we finish our luncheon.
Our Wednesday evening Bible study continues and 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.
