A Pentecostal Church in the Midst of the City

Because Everyone Needs love that does not Vanish

God alone is perfect love. Unfortunately, the human ability to love appears fragile. That is why every human being needs an example and to experience the greatest love in the world. Indeed, we believe it is pivotal to have a relationship with God within which to experience mercy that dwells from the reality of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. These lead to salvation which is the essential fruit of perfect love. (Joh. 3:16-17)

You are welcome to visit our church to hear more about these matters!

Our Church, its Mission and Purpose

Saalem Church of Järvenpää is one of the oldest Finnish Pentecostal churches in Finland, over 80 years old. The history of our church carries both, phases of growing joy as well as that of pain. Today, however, we are a spiritual home for over 400 who belong to God’s family.

Everything that our church does has its anchor point in a Christian conviction. We have two pastors and numbers of volunteers who work for the advance of the Kingdom of God. Also, our Christian conviction and commitment are realised in an economy of the church which is largely dependant on offerings.

As a local church, we understand to play a significant role in spreading the Gospel around the city. Jesus commanded the Church to “go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” (Mark 16:15-16) We believe that this commandment is binding and something that defines the purpose of our church.

Workers and the Church Leadership

Sabu Kiriyapillai has been working for over 16 years as a pastor in our church. In addition, Sabu directs the international work.

Vellu Haarala started as our pastor in the summer of 2016. The focus of Vellu’s pastoral job is primarily on the children and youth ministries.

Mirjam Reis does missionary work in New York with disadvantaged children. This mission is led by the Metro World Child organisation, with whom Mirjam has been working for several years now. At the heart of her mission is to encounter children who live in miserable conditions, bring them the Gospel and meet their other needs as well.
