Street Church is made up of people from various professions and walks of life, united by a shared passion for reaching others with love and the Gospel, wherever they are – on the streets. Our inspiration is Jesus Christ, who sought out those in need: the poor, the lonely, the homeless, and the rejected, bringing them hope and proclaiming the Kingdom of God through signs and wonders.

Street Church is an interdenominational initiative built on the collaboration of local churches and Christian communities. Each Street Church operates independently, with love and respect for diversity as the foundation of its effectiveness. We gather in many locations across Poland for weekly street services to worship God, share His Word, pray for the sick, and offer practical help to those in need.

Our heartfelt desire is to make the message of the Gospel heard in this generation and to reach as many people as possible, including those experiencing homelessness. We firmly believe that the Gospel is as powerful as ever, capable of uplifting and transforming the lives of every individual.

Through our work with Street Church, we strive to share this hope and bring light to those who need it most. ✨

Daniel Ewertowski – Pastor of Street Church and the Logistical Brain Behind the Operation Daniel is the one who keeps everything running smoothly, coordinating the work of volunteers, organising the worship team schedules, and managing the technical aspects of our gatherings. His heart is set on serving both people and God in the best way possible. 

With his dedication and attention to detail, Daniel ensures that every meeting is not just well-organised but also a meaningful experience for everyone involved. 

It all began in 2006 with a thermos of hot tea and a few sandwiches. A small group of believing friends regularly visited the area around Warsaw Central Station to help those experiencing homelessness, pray for them, and share the Gospel.

Over time, this simple act of kindness grew into regular open-air services under the name Street Church. The first Street Church gathering in Poland took place on 1st September 2010 at Warsaw’s “Patelnia” square.

In the following years, the initiative expanded to other cities: Szczecin (2012), Poznań (2014), Gdańsk (2014), Białystok (2015), Ostrów Wielkopolski (2015), Kraków (2015), Opole (2015), Malbork (2016), Lublin (2016), Gorzów Wielkopolski (2017), Augustów (2017), and Kalisz (2018).

Today, Street Church meetings are held in numerous cities across Poland. In Warsaw alone, 17 churches and Christian communities are actively involved in organising these gatherings. Pastor Paweł Bukała serves as the main leader of Street Church, continuing to guide its mission with dedication and vision.

Our primary goal is to bring the Gospel to everyone who needs it and provide real, tangible help to those experiencing homelessness. We aim to support individuals at every stage of their journey towards reintegration into society, starting with basic assistance such as hot meals, food parcels, clothing, and medication. From there, we offer more specialised and long-term support, including managing a rehabilitation home and providing access to addiction therapists and social workers.

Our vision is to bring hope and create meaningful change in the lives of people who are ready to overcome their challenges but cannot do it alone. We strive to help others discover purpose and meaning in life through Jesus Christ.

Overcoming homelessness and addiction is possible – and far more achievable with the support of others! Together, we can make a difference.
