Budapest Vision... continued!
Focus Church is a growing church plant located in the New Buda area of Budapest, Hungary. New Buda is the largest district in Budapest with a population of about 150,000. It is also home to several large universities, with thousands of university students populating the district. Thousands of young families also call this district home. The subway, trams, buses and trains also make it accessible to people living all across Budapest and the suburban area.
We planted Focus Church in 2019. We started in a borrowed church building, moved to a coffee shop and now meet in an auditorium that was formerly a movie theater. The auditorium seats 300 and provides plenty of room for future growth. Focus Church has about 90 committed members and averages 100-120 in its Sunday services.
One unique feature of Focus Church is its youth. 75% of our members are between the age of 18 and 35. It is our goal to provide a home for these young adults where they can grow in their faith and use their gifts to build the kingdom.
Outreach methods include our annual English day camp, marriage seminars, street evangelism, a public-school Bible club, our annual outdoor grill party, youth events and the regular witness of our members. We also send a team at least once a year to serve at a partner ministry in Ukraine.
Our goal is for Focus Church to become a church plant that multiplies. Plans are already in the works to launch a new campus/daughter church in 2026.
The harvest is truly plenteous, and the laborers are few. Please pray for the harvest field of Budapest, Hungary!
