Holy Trinity Baptist Church in Deva
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:
Because our building is already full with activities, we planned to extend our ministry in the most populated and most poor area of Deva, and we called it TOC Trinity Outreach Centre.
There are about 25,000 people withing the walking distance.
