5 churches connected by their history and their vision


The history of the mission in Anjou

A network connected by the Mission

Angers

Since 1953 the church in Angers has grown into a missionary church in the city and the region.
The new building acquired in 2023 is an ongoing project with a major investment for its renovation. It will be ready  for public worship services early 2025.

Saumur

The missionary dynamic from Angers led to the opening of a church building during the sixties in Saumur (50 km from Angers).Vie Nouvelle Saumur has since become a thriving community and grew itself into a missionary church for the region.

Cholet

The missionary vision of Angers church also gave birth to a church in Cholet in the nineties. Cholet is a large town located 60 km from Angers. In 2019, the inauguration of a new building marked a new phase in the church's life and growth.  

Thouars

In 2015, in a leap of faith, Saumur church decided to open a meeting place in Thouars, a town located 30 km from Saumur. A new church, Vie Nouvelle Thouars, has been planted with a vibrant desire to share the Gospel in their community.

Loudun

The most recent Church building opened in our region in January 2022, Vie Nouvelle Loudun is a thriving community bearing witness in a rural area. Audrey is the local leader, with the support of the pastors of Saumur and Angers (see picture of the inauguration).

Help us keep writing the story

Today the resources of churches in the “white zone” are too limited to open a centre for church planting and start planting churches – if we do it alone.
