“Holy Trinity” Baptist Church
DEVA, Romania
- ‘Holy Trinity’ Baptist Church is located in Deva, a city of 70.000 inhabitants in the central western part of Romania, called Transilvania. It is the city where David Francisc, first anabaptist was marthired in the citadel, and where Nadia Comaneci, the perfect 10 gymnast, was trained.
Our Church is dedicated to honour God by serving people of all ages and social condition. This is why, besides our church ministries (children, youth, musical, woman, families, small groups, discipleship ...) we have the following missionary projects:

“Samuel” Christian School – teaching 50 kids every day from 8.00 am to 4.00 pm. (We help financialy the kids from deprived families)
Prison ministry – weekly visits to teenagers and adults in a nearby prison
Mision trips in Dmitrovka, Ukraine
Many outreach (open air) activities: resurection March, prolife meetings... in the most central place in town.
Pharmacy ministry – distributing medication for sick people
