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.
The Diocese of Grenoble is offering the Saint-Bernard Chapel for sale.
We gather in assembly for a service at Saint-Bernard Chapel to collectively discern whether this place would suit our community.
⟶ It’s a YES!
We sign the preliminary sales agreement.
We launch our crowdfunding campaign.
Church members mobilize actively, and the elders work hard to handle the many administrative matters.
The Lord blesses us with numerous donors from all over the world, enabling us to raise the necessary funds for the purchase.
We buy the Chapel! 🥳
A team from Grace Church comes to help us kick off the renovations! Many of them are professionals! They work wonders, and in just one week, the work progresses significantly!
We carry out small projects gradually, taking turns gathering on Saturdays. We work on restoring the garden, painting, flooring…
A professional will redo the roof, with a budget of around €70K.
We hope to all gather in the chapel for our first services 🙌

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.
