A Building
on the East side of Grenoble
for EGE church

OUR PROJECT

To shine with the light of Christ on the east side of Grenoble

After long months of prayer and searching
an incredible door has opened for us

The St. Bernard Chapel, located a short bike ride from the university campus, is for sale!

We are amazed by God’s faithfulness and goodness throughout the story of our community.

Here are some updates on our projects in pictures.

Due to COVID, the EGE is being hosted at the EPEGE, a larger church but farther from the campus.

Where do we stand?

Our reasons

Vision

Connecting the space where we worship together
to the space where we live and witness together.

Church life

Enjoying greater flexibility in the use of facilities
both for worship and for neighborhood witness.

Renewal

Bringing new life to an otherwise lifeless church building
in an under-resourced corner of our township.

Training

Hosting workshops, conferences, and other regional equipping events
for church leaders and disciple-makers.

The Project

Thanks to many donations from across France and around the world, we were able to raise the £388,380 needed to purchase Saint Bernard Church, which was for sale in Saint-Martin-d’Hères (our target neighborhood!).

It’s ideally located near the ring road and close to a tram station heading toward the university campus.

The renovation work

We are now entering the second phase: the renovation work.

Before we can begin gathering in the chapel, major work needs to be done.

We estimate the total cost of the renovations to be around £164,000.

To reduce costs as much as possible, we’ve chosen to carry out part of the work ourselves. That’s why, between visits from the different contractors, members of the EGE come together at the site to move forward on the tasks we are able to handle ourselves.

« I encourage you with all my heart to support the project of buying a building for EGE church. This church has been existing for a few years now. It is a community of dynamic disciples which has proven its faithfulness to the Word and its burden to make Christ known. This project represents a true opportunity to bring the Gospel in an area of the city where there are many human and spiritual needs. Having a building will help EGE church to become part of the fabric of the city and improve its impact by being an ambassador for the Kingdom. Embarking on a purchasing project is a great challenge that they are taking on with faith, trusting in God’s providence. With your support, anything becomes possible. That’s why I invite you to contribute generously to this project, in prayer and/or in donations. Your financial support will not only contribute to the funding for the building, but also to the advancement of the Kingdom of God in a city that needs it so much. »

«I am delighted by this wonderful opportunity given to the Grenoble-Est Church to acquire a space to better reach its neighborhood! I can only support this ambitious project and encourage all those who can to support it financially and in prayer. Let’s see how our God will provide, and let’s participate to the best of our abilities! The Grenoble-Est Church has been firmly established for 7 years. Its commitment to the Scriptures, its dynamism, its focus on relationships transformed by the power of Christ, its culture of individual formation, and its impactful testimony in the region are all reasons to help it acquire a space that will facilitate its activities and increase its impact. The diversity of its composition – singles, families, students, spiritually seeking individuals, future church leaders – will be well served by this space, which will allow for multiple uses. I pray that this beautiful project comes to fruition in a reasonable time frame."
